HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c346W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Technology what saving has been made by the creation of a single hovercraft unit covering both defence and civil applications; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse:

A single Hovercraft unit was set up in July this year. It is expected to show savings in intramural and extramural research and development by bringing the civilian and military applications together and ensure a co-ordinated programme of work.
