HC Deb 12 June 1967 vol 748 cc32-3W
Mr. Huckfield

asked the Minister of Technology whether he will make it a condition of all future Government contracts with Rolls-Royce Limited and Bristol Siddeley Engines Limited that as much of the work involved as possible, including subcontracting, must be done in this country.

Mr. Benn

It would not be practicable to impose such a condition, but my Department is, under the normal contract procedures, made aware of any significant sub-contracts and would consider on their merits proposals to sub-contract overseas.
