HC Deb 21 June 1976 vol 913 c321W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what new aviation projects are to be commenced during 1976.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The United Kingdom industry is currently engaged in a detailed examination of all the options for future civil aircraft projects. They have not, as let, come forward with any specific proposals. Among the options are collaboration on derivatives of the Airbus, the HS146 and a European 150-seat aircraft, one possibility for which is a derivative of the BAC 1–11.
