HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c66W
96. Mr. Russell Kerr

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the total cost in United States dollars of the non-military aircraft he anticipates importing from the United States of America during the calendar year 1968; and whether he will make a statement indicating the various categories of aircraft being imported and the approximate dollar total for each category.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The Board of Trade does not expect to import any aircraft from the United States in 1968 nor does B.E.A. The Government have agreed to the importation in 1968 by BO.A.C. of one freight aircraft valued at about $10 million and by the College of Air Training at Hamble of 12 Trainers at a total cost of about $1 million. I do not know what aircraft will be imported by other operators.
