HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 c7W
73. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for Air the receipts from overseas sales of Royal Air Force radio, radar and electronic equipment in new condition in 1954–55 and 1955–56; and what proportion of these receipts was derived from sales of such equipment at less than the industry's export prices.

Mr. Birch

Detailed figures are not available but, on a rough assessment, the sales of radio and electronic equipment by the R.A.F. to other countries amounted to between £750,000 and £1 million in each of the past two years. Much of this equipment was used or reconditioned, and no comparison with the export prices obtained by industry is practicable.
