HC Deb 20 January 1970 vol 794 c107W
73. Mr. Onslow

asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the cost of modification of British Overseas Airways Corporation's Boeing 707/336 purchases to meet British Overseas Airways Corporation's standard; and when these standards were formulated.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The cost of modification was included in the original purchase price. It was not a question of meeting standards so much as of modifying the lay-out and instrumentation to enable crews to be used interchangeably on these aircraft and the earlier Boeing fleet.
