Mr. Dalyell
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if, in the light of the Ministry of Defence statement on 7 May that Nimrod maritime reconnaissance early warning aircraft fitted with air-to-air refuelling would be sent to the Falkland Islands waters, he will state how many Nimrods were sent; and when.
Mr. Blaker
[pursuant to his reply, 10 November 1982, c. 163]: The Nimrod maritime reconnaissance aircraft to which I referred were of course those fitted with air-to-air refuelling equipment. Nimrod maritime reconnaissance aircraft without that equipment had been deployed to the South Atlantic in early April.
