HC Deb 15 December 1958 vol 597 c147W
80. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Minister of Supply what sum is being paid to the Dutch firm, Werkspoor, for two radio telescopes; and when delivery will be effected.

Mr. W. J. Taylor

It is against established practice to reveal contract prices, but I can say that some figures which I have seen quoted are greatly exaggerated. The delivery of the first telescope should be completed by September. 1959, and the second by March, 1960.
