HC Deb 05 May 1969 vol 783 c29W
75. Mr. John Mendelson

asked the Minister of Technology whether he will refuse his approval of the proposal by Short Brothers and Harland to sell its Series 3M Skyvan turboprop military transport to the United States of America for use by South Vietnamese military forces; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Any proposal by the firm to export military transport aircraft would be considered by Her Majesty's Government in the light of stated policy and of the circumstances at that time. I cannot comment on recent Press speculation.
