HC Deb 10 March 1966 vol 725 c631W

Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Aviation why, following the announcement of his decision to buy Lockheed C130 aircraft in February 1965, it was not until July 1965 that he asked Lockheed to incorporate the maximum amount of British equipment.

Mr. Mulley

Incorporation of British components in the C130 was raised with Lockheeds in March, 1965.
