§ Mr. Raymond Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is aware that a small helium-lifted British airship is now under construction and nearing completion; if he will give consideration to some of its possible uses outlined in the document forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Ilkeston; and if he will receive representations from those technically qualified to give them about other commercially viable uses for the airship in question.
§ Mr. CorfieldI take it that the hon. Member is referring to the Goodyear airship now being assembled at Cardington,198W about which he wrote to my Department on 26th October. I shall, of course, be glad to consider any further representations about the use of airships which the hon. Member or others may wish to make to me.
