LORD ST. OSWALDMy Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question of Her Majesty's Government of which they have been given Private Notice: To ask Her 1388 Majesty's Government whether they will make a Statement on the communication which has been received on the cancellation of the Anglo-French variable geometry aircraft?
§ LORD SHEPHERDMy Lords, we have had no Private Notice of that.
§ LORD SHACKLETONMy Lords, I must say that I think we have had exactly one minute's notice of it. But we will do our best to provide an answer, under difficulties.
