HC Deb 23 February 1966 vol 725 cc108-9W
Mr. R. Carr

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT an account of the action taken since 13th December, 1965, further to evaluate the potential of the Mirage IV/Spey project in terms of performance, cost and availability.

Mr. Mulley

The further proposals on the Mirage IV/Spey submitted by B.A.C. during December were carefully examined and this examination confirmed my Department's earlier assessment that this proposed aircraft would be inferior in performance, later in service and at least as costly as the F111A as a replacement for the Canberra.
