Mr. Tierney

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what change he intends to make in the level of payments for research and development in the field of aviation in 1974–75.

Mr. Meacher

The Estimates for 1974–75 make provision for expenditure of 09.7 million on research and development on civil aircraft and aero-engine projects and assistance. If I consider that any changes are necessary these will be announced as appropriate. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade is responsible for expenditure on research and development for civil aviation.
