HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 c110W
30. Mr. Robert Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the results of the visit to the United States of America by the Minister of State for Defence Procurement.

Mr. Ian Stewart

My hon. Friend is still in the United States and will be returning later this week. The object of his visit has been to encourage co-operation between the United States and the United Kingdom in the defence equipment field, and to draw attention to particular areas where British products can cost-effectively meet American military requirements.
