§ 66. Mr. Ian Lloydasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations have been made to him by the British aerospace industry following the decisions of the European Space Conference on the post-Apollo programme; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. Michael HeseltineThe European Space Conference has not reached a decision on the post-Apollo programme and does not intend to do so until the autumn. In the meantime, no specific representations have been made, though my hon. Friend will of course be aware of the letter circulated to all hon. Members by the National Industrial Space Committee on 4th July. I have a continuing dialogue with the industry.
