§ 49. Sir H. Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Technology whether he is satisfied with the marketing of British hovercraft at home and overseas; what has been the return so far on the capital, both privately and publicly, invested on a joint basis; and what steps he proposes taking to improve the promotion of this method of marine transportation, with particular reference to the licensing of private undertakings in the manufacturing and operational fields.
§ Dr. Bray:My right hon. Friend is never satisfied with the marketing of any goods at home or overseas; he thinks we could always do better. I am not in a position to give figures on the returns of invested capital. The Ministry together with the Board of Trade is working continually with the industry to secure exports.
