HC Deb 24 January 1974 vol 867 cc324-5W
Mr. McLaren

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) when he expects that Concorde will receive its certificate of airworthiness ;

(2) when he now expects that Concorde will enter scheduled service.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

Both aspects are being re-examined by the manufacturers as part of the current programme review. I cannot provide firm forecasts until this review has been completed, and until I and my French colleague have considered the proposals presented to us.
