HC Deb 03 November 1975 vol 899 c38W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the current public expenditure per month on the HS146 project; and what monthly rate he anticipates throughout 1976.

Mr. Kaufman

A small programme of work is currently being maintained on the HS146 under a holding contract, so that the option to restart the project is kept open. Payments so far have averaged £51,000 per month. Future monthly rates of payment through to the end of 1976 cannot be predicted.
