HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 c99W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Technology when he intends to initiate a further inquiry into the profits made by Bristol Siddeley Engines, in view of the recent Second Special Report from the Committee of Public Accounts.

Mr. Benn

The Wilson Committee is now engaged on an inquiry with wide terms of reference, the report of which is now expected in October. I do not think yet another inquiry is called for at the moment.

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Technology if he will now initiate a complete review of all contracts carried out by Bristol Siddeley Engines on repair of spares for the years 1959–60 to 1963–64, inclusive.

Mr. Benn

Yes.
