HC Deb 05 June 1961 vol 641 c50W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Aviation to what extent the Paris International Air Show has assisted the development of a supersonic airliner by this country.

Mr. Thorneycroft

The French Government were asked some time ago if they wished to explore further with us the possibilities of collaboration on this project. They undertook to reply when they had received and considered the studies being prepared by their own manufacturers. We are still waiting for this.
