HC Deb 21 November 1967 vol 754 c306W
98. Mr. A. Royle

asked the Minister of Technology if he will give an assurance that the Concord will not be cancelled by Her Majesty's Government, providing the test flying programme of the prototypes is successful.

Mr. Stonehouse

The results of prototype test flying are only one of many factors to be taken into account in judging the viability of any advanced aircraft project but success here is essential for Concord's commercial success and would contribute to it.
