HC Deb 17 March 1972 vol 833 c196W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, following the exchange of ambassadors with the People's Republic of China, he will do everything possible, through diplomatic channels, to further the sales of Concorde airliners to China, including flying in Concorde, if he visits Peking.

Mr. Anthony Royle

My right hon. Friend would beglad to go to China but not in the immediate future as his programme is too heavy. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, is co-ordinating arrangements to support the manufacturers' sales effort for Concorde.
