HC Deb 03 March 1965 vol 707 cc249-50W
69. Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Aviation what arrangements he has made with the Government of the United States of America for the supply of spare parts to the aircraft which the Government propose to purchase from them, in the event of industrial strikes in the United States of America or of political embargo by the United States of America.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The arrangements for the supply of spare parts were described by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence on 11th February in reply to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Dell). They are no less satisfactory than those made for the Royal Navy's Phantoms by the previous Government.
