HC Deb 23 June 1965 vol 714 cc201-2W
32. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Aviation if he will give an assurance that no purchase of United States aircraft will be allowed to jeopardise the recently concluded Anglo-French aviation agreement; and if he will make a statement on talks or communications he has had on these matters with representatives of both the French and United States Governments.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Yes. The Anglo-French aviation agreement and our proposed purchases of United States aircraft are not in conflict, and this has been made clear in numerous discussions which my right hon. Friends and I have had with French and United States Ministers.
