HC Deb 23 June 1967 vol 748 c346W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Minister of Technology if he will give an assurance that Short Brothers & Harland will remain an aircraft building firm.

Mr. Benn

The suggestions that have appeared in the Press that the Government wishes to eliminate the aircraft interests of Short Brothers & Harland are untrue. The Company is already working on a number of important projects several of which have been only recently authorised.
