§ Mr. Warrenasked the Minister of State for Defence what changes in the work allocation between Great Britain and Germany on the multi-rôle combat aircraft programme are envisaged, following the revaluation of the German Deutchmark relative to the £ sterling.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourThere will be no immediate re-allocation of work. The inter-Governmental arrangements provide for the work-sharing position to be reviewed at the beginning of each phase of the programme. Changes in currency values are one of the factors that will then be considered.
