HC Deb 13 July 1948 vol 453 c84W
69. Mr. Bracken

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any British manufactured jet aeroplane engines have been exported to Russia.

Mr. Belcher

As my right hon. Friend informed the House on 6th May, in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Monmouth (Mr. P. Thorneycroft), 55 gas turbine engines of types not included in the secret list and available for export generally, have been exported to Russia in fulfilment of contracts signed in August, 1946, and March, 1947. Delivery of these engines was completed by January of this year. There have been no deliveries of gas turbine engines to Russia since that date.
