HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c50W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what conditions were imposed by the French on 31st July for participation in a marine satellite programme.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

No special conditions were imposed by the French on their participation in MAROTS. But the French agreement was part of a package all of whose parts had to be agreed if the package as a whole was to stand.
