HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 c142W
58. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Minister of Aviation Supply whether he will now give instructions and finance in order to continue the research, development and production of the RB211.

Mr. David Price

The Government are paying for the RB211 work needed to enable the project to go ahead without delay if a new contract is agreed. That is as far as we can go at present.
