HC Deb 02 March 1966 vol 725 cc311-2W
Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Aviation if he will specify what amounts are included in the total sum of £195,615,000 shown in head C(1)(i) of the Supplementary Estimate for the Ministry of Aviation in respect of terminal payments on discontinued aircraft projects, and for expenditure on United States aircraft expected at the time of the previous estimate to be met under credit arrangements, respectively.

Mr. Mulley

Included in the total provision of £195,615,000 asked for on head C.1(i) of the Spring Supplementary Estimate for the Ministry of Aviation are

(i) terminal payments on discontinued aircraft projects—

£M
P.1154 7⅔
HS.681 1⅓
TSR.2 31½

The expenditure on the TSR.2 is that on development. Provision for the TSR.2 as a continuing project was made in the Estimate, and the expected terminal payments on it on this Vote in 1965–66 represent a saving of £M3 against the Estimate provision.

(ii) development expenditure on U.S. aircraft expected at the time of the previous Supplementary Estimate to be met under credit arrangements is estimated at£M6¾.
