HC Deb 28 May 1962 vol 660 c91W
61. Mr. Diamond

asked the Minister of Aviation what proportion, in terms of value, of the work on the supersonic airliner which is to be manufactured jointly by France and the United Kingdom, will he carried out in this country.

Mr. Thorneycroft

Discussions with the French Government about possible collaboration on this project have been on the basis of a fifty-fifty sharing in the work, measured in terms of the expenditure incurred in each country.
