§ Mr. Whiteheadasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent his assessment of the performance of the RB.211 engine coincides with that given by Mr. John Connally, Secretary to the Treasury, in evidence to the United States Senate, a copy of which evidence is in his possession.
§ Mr. CorfieldI agree with Mr. Connally's assessment, although the RB.211 will come into service later than its competitors.
