HC Deb 30 July 1958 vol 592 c152W
95. Mr. Roy Mason

asked the Minister of Supply whether he has yet had consultations within the scope of the American Mutal Aid programme to discuss the future military application of the Swallow aircraft; what is its estimated cost of production; and whether it is to be developed here or in the United States of America.

Mr. W. J. Taylor

Discussions with the responsible American authorities are proceeding. There is no suggestion that the development work would be undertaken outside this country. I would, however, remind the hon. Member that the project is a research project and it is too early to predict to what aircraft requirements the principles might be applied.
