HC Deb 07 December 1966 vol 737 c316W
98. Mr. Brooks

asked the Minister of Aviation what research has been conducted by his Department into the potential consumer demand for supersonic airliners and supersonic flight facilities among the British people; and where the results of such research have been published.

Mr. Mulley

Studies of the potential market among airlines for supersonic airliners and among passengers for seats in them have been carried out by British officials in association with French officials and the firms working on the Concord project. The results of these studies have not been published, but they indicate that there is likely to be a considerable demand for seats in supersonic airliners. This is confirmed by studies published in the U.S.A.
