HC Deb 24 March 1969 vol 780 cc227-8W
Mr. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total sum spent to the last convenient date in connection with the F111 project and the total of the estimated claims still to be met in connection with the cancellation.

Mr. Healey

As regards dollar costs I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Hendon, North (Sir Ian Orr-Ewing) on 19th February. As the result of the cancellation of contracts placed with British firms for various types of equipment sterling payments amount to £2 million to date. Further sterling payments are likely to be of the order of £½ million.—[Vol. 778, c. 459.]
