Mr. Ward:

We are looking at it as a matter of urgency, and we are going ahead as quickly as we can. Our existing transport force can do what it was designed to do, and it meets the current requirements.

We cannot rush it, because what we determine now will be the way in which we meet our overseas requirements for many years to come.
