HC Deb 26 November 1951 vol 494 c848
2. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Supply if he will make a statement on the future of the Brabazon aircraft.

Mr. Sandys

I am at present reviewing the aircraft programme as a whole. Meanwhile, I should prefer not to make any statement on particular projects.

Air Commodore Harvey

As a lot of public money has been spent on this project, will my right hon. Friend give an undertaking that he will make a decision at a very early date on this important matter?

Mr. Sandys

I hope to be able to make a statement quite soon.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Does that mean before the Christmas Recess?

Mr. Sandys

I should not like to commit myself until I have completed this review.
