HC Deb 09 November 1967 vol 753 cc180-1W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Technology what is the estimated financial loss to Her Majesty's Government as a result of France's unilateral withdrawal from the Anglo-French variable geometry aircraft project.

Mr. Stonehouse

About £2.5 million was spent on the Anglo-French variable geometry project. By far the greater part of the work carried out would be relevant in an alternative aircraft.
