HC Deb 01 December 1987 vol 123 c567W
Mr. Denzil Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has as to the current value of contracts placed by Boeing in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Sainsbury

The Boeing company has recently submitted its first six-monthly report under the AWACS offset programme, which claims credit for contracts placed with United Kingdom companies to the value of $141 million since November 1986. The report is currently being evaluated and it is therefore too early to say how much of the claim will be agreed as counting towards the fulfilment of Boeing's offset commitment.
