HC Deb 09 August 1966 vol 733 c318W
74. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Aviation what steps he took to satisfy himself that the Douglas Aircraft Company has the facilities to enable it to produce six Boeing 747 aircraft by 1969 and 1970.

Mr. Mulley

I assume the hon. Member means the Boeing Aircraft Company and is referring to the six aircraft which B.O.A.C. are ordering. It is up to the Corporation to ensure that its contract with the supplier has the necessary sanctions against delayed deliveries.
