HC Deb 18 February 1975 vol 886 cc347-8W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is his policy towards the proposal that the European consortium of British, German and Italian firms at present preparing to build the MRCA aircraft should relin- quish this joint venture in favour of American F15, F16 and R10 aircraft, in consideration of the United States of America agreeing to purchase large quantities of the European manufactured Leopard tank.

Mr. William Rodgers

My right hon. Friend has received no such propsal and has no intention of relinquishing the MRCA project.
