HC Deb 24 July 1975 vol 896 cc297-8W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will now take action to expedite the production of the HS146 notwithstanding the delay in the programme of public ownership of the aviation industry.

Mr. Kaufman

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Industry has now considered the report prepared by the Tripartite Working Group which was set up following his predecessor's statement of 9th December on the HS146 project. My right hon. and noble Friend the Minister of State has since issued an invitation to the Aerospace Committee of the CSEU to discuss the report. The small-scale programme of work at HSA which we have authorised is continuing.
