87. Mr. P. Thorneycroft

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many jet turbine engines and component parts, respectively, have been exported to the U.S.S.R.

Mr. H. Wilson

Fifty-five gas turbine engines of types not included in the secret list, and available for export generally have been exported to the U.S.S.R. in fulfilment of contracts signed in August, 1946, and March, 1947. No component parts as such have been supplied, but the normal complement of maintenance spares for the 55 engines has been exported to the U.S.S.R.
