§ Mr. Warrenasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if the Concorde contract terms and conditions being offered to Air France are identical to those which are available to the British Overseas Airways Corporation.
§ Mr. OnslowThe manufacturers' aim has been to harmonise the main contract provisions with BOAC and Air France. But the terms cannot be identical because each individual airline has its own operating and engineering requirements.
§ Mr. Warrenasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether Concorde sales contracts with airlines will be subject to English or French law.
§ Mr. OnslowThis will be a matter for negotiation with individual airlines. But it is customary for such contracts to be subject to the law of the seller's country.
