HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 c50W
Mr. Stainton

asked the Prime Minister in view of the fact that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aviation has visited Beirut in negotiations with Middle East Airlines on behalf of the British Aircraft Corporation for the sale of the Vickers Super VC10, if he will take steps to make available to other privately-owned companies similar Ministerial assistance in negotiating business abroad.

The Prime Minister

Yes, if the circumstances were such as to justify it.
