P111 ORACLE 111 Tue17 Oct ITV 1941:27 ARMY TANKBUSTER £50m OVER BUDGET The Army's new anti-tank weapon is entering service five years late, £50m over budget and unable to penetrate the new frontal armour of Soviet tanks. In its report on the short-range LAW 80 system, the Commons Defence Committee says "active consideration" should be given to future improvements. The all-party committee complains it is unable to make a full xeport on the weapon because of MoD restrictions. Its report explains how a belated decision in 1978 led to specification changes, boosting the cost and adding five years to the readiness date.
