HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 cc98-9W
72. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what other aircraft, other than the F111A, are to be paid for out of the £430 million loan for supply of aircraft from the United States of America; what is their purpose; and what is their cost.

Mr. Healey

As to the types and cost of aircraft to be purchased under the loan arrangement, I would refer my hon. Friend to the speech made by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Aviation on 17th May (HANSARD, Col. 1179). The purposes for which these aircraft are being acquired were summarised in paragraphs 7, 14 and 16 of Chapter III of Part I of Cmnd. 2901.
