HC Deb 15 December 1952 vol 509 c124W
77. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Supply how many, and which types of aircraft engines are now being manufactured under licence in the United States of America; and if he can give an estimate of the dollar receipts which will flow from the different contracts made.

Mr. Sandys

Versions of two British aero engines, the Sapphire and the Tay, are at present in production in the U.S.A. and licences have been granted for other types. Up to date some 12½ million dollars have been received from these licences. Future receipts will depend on the number of engines which may be produced.
