§ 16. Mr. Onslowasked the Minister of Aviation whether he will publish six-monthly reports on the progress of the Concord project.
§ Mr. MulleyI accept that the House should be kept as fully informed as possible about the progress of this project but I am not sure that the rigid timetable proposed is the best means.
§ Mr. OnslowWould the Minister not agree that it is important that the House should be kept aware of the expenditure involved and the methods by which it is being controlled, and would he not agree that there is an excellent case here for extension of the specialist committee system in relation to this particular project?
§ Mr. MulleyI am not exactly sure what the hon. Member has in mind about a particular specialist committee for one project, because I doubt if hon. Members would necessarily want to devote their time to the detail necessary. That, anyway, is not a matter for me. However, I do accept the principle that the House should be kept as fully informed as possible.
