96. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he will make a statement on the future of the Anglo-French VG project and of the European Air Bus.

Mr. Mulley

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence and I will be meeting French Ministers on 7th November to discuss the next stage of the Anglo-French variable geometry project. On the Airbus, joint proposals submitted by industrial firms in the United Kingdom, France and Germany on how best to meet the outline specification agreed earlier this year, are now being evaluated.
