§ Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Technology what alternative design work he intends to offer the Design Office at Gloucester of Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Limited, to replace the work on the HS681 aircraft, which has been cancelled.
§ Mr. CousinsMy Department is not likely to have any substantial volume of design work to put out to contract, but I am asking the Directors of my Research Stations and of the Research Associations to consider whether they can make use of the Gloucester team's services. I have also ascertained that National Research Development Corporation are aware of the facilities offered.
