§ Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Minister of Technology what present contracts from his Department are being worked at the Hawker Siddeley factory at Coventry; and whether these will be affected by proposed cuts in Government expenditure.
§ Mr. Stonehouse:It is not normal practice to give information regarding individual contracts placed with firms. None of the current contracts placed with Hawker Siddeley Dynamics at Coventry is affected by the Defence cuts recently announced. But a review of the foreseen future guided weapon requirements led the company to decide that their factory at Coventry was surplus to their future needs.
