HC Deb 25 November 1969 vol 792 c60W
55. Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Technology what calculations have been made by his Department of the cost across the exchanges of the proposed multi-role combat aircraft.

Mr. Carmichael

The arrangements for sharing the work and costs of the M.R.C.A. programme have been designed to ensure that to the maximum practicable extent, each country will be allocated work in proportion to its production requirements and will pay for that work itself. As a result the payments of currency across the exchanges will be extremely limited.
