§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Industry how much time has now elapsed since the appointment of the Chairman of the Committee for British Aerospace; why there have been no further appointments to the latter Committee; and whether he is satisfied that the Committee can operate satisfactorily when it is composed solely of the Chairman.
§ Mr. KaufmanThe Chairman was appointed on 5th December 1975. My right hon. Friend expects to make additional appointments shortly so that the Organising Committee can make further progress with preparations for vesting.
§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Industry how many works have been visited to date by the Organising Committee for British Aerospace; and how many meetings it has held with employees.
§ Mr. KaufmanThe Organising Committee has begun a programme of visits to factories, and by the end of the month at least six of these will have taken place. All include formal meetings with employees.
