HC Deb 23 July 1947 vol 440 c150W
92. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will make a statement on the negotiations for the manufacture of U.S. Constellation aircraft in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Woodburn

A suggestion was made some time ago that the Government should place an order for Constellation aircraft to be built in this country, but was not approved. We have not been asked to consider any proposal that these aircraft should be manufactured under licence without a Government order.
