HC Deb 20 March 1961 vol 637 c10W
91. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Minister of Aviation how many additional Boeing 707 aircraft have been ordered by the British Overseas Airways Corporation; and what is the cost of these aircraft and the spares.

Mr. Thorneycroft

No order has yet been placed, but I am considering a request from the British Overseas Airways Corporation for permission to order three more Boeing Rolls-Royce 707 aircraft. The price would be a matter for negotiation between the parties.
