Dr. McDonald
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if full delivery of Blindfire Rapier units to BN Corps and RAF Regiment squadrons was completed by December 1981; how many units were involved; and what was the cost of each.
Mr. Pattie
Deployment of Blindfire Rapier to 1(BR) Corps was completed by December 1981. Most of the units for the RAF Regiment squadron have been delivered and we expect the order to be completed during 1982. I regret I am unable to give the number of systems and the unit cost for security and commercial reasons.
