HC Deb 28 February 1949 vol 462 cc5-6
10. Mr. Cobb

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will allow British contractors to the Armed Services to manufacture and export apparatus for the radar interceptor network across Northern Canada which is now under consideration by the Canadian and United States Governments.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Yes, Sir. I would be very ready to consider any proposal for the manufacture of radar equipment in this country for export to Canada.

Mr. Cobb

Does the Minister know of any obstacles to our getting part of this contract, and if he does, will he say what they are?

Mr. Strauss

No, Sir, I know of no obstacles, but I do not know of any inquiry which has come from Canada for this equipment.
