HC Deb 20 April 1977 vol 930 cc93-4W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration has been given to the corporate plan for Rolls-Royce (1971) Ltd. when preparing the public expenditure estimates.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The Rolls-Royce corporate plan for 1977–81 is being considered by the NEB, which is responsible for the financing of the company. The amount of Government funds to be made available to the NEB, to meet this and its other responsibilities, will be reviewed in the normal course of the 1977 public expenditure survey.
