the DPF will, at the end of the day, be called upon. It depends in part on how much British equipment was involved. The DPF was committed irrespective of that, said Defence Sales. Oh, no, it wasn't said Sec (0) (C), who also argued that if the DPF ceiling had to be lowered on account of the frigates, so should the DSF (that would relie ve the pressure in the DPF). Even if the DPF were called upon, it was not known how much would be required in the first year or SO. One thing which did seem clear was that there was no likelihood of getting the present DPF ceiling (£5m) increased. a C S M Shelton Defence Department K420 270 3151 cc Mr Roberts, NENAD Mr Hollanby SED (para 3) Fco 8/6498
