HC Deb 21 November 1974 vol 881 c508W
Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what consultations have taken place with the employees of Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Chadderton and Woodford plants, in regard to taking the firm into State ownership; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Benn

I have not yet begun consultations on nationalisation, but in my discussions on the HS146, the unions have confirmed their support for bringing the industry into public ownership.
