§ Mr. Adleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the recent remarks of his right hon. Friend on the desirability of buying British will form the basis of Government directions to the nationalised industries to purchase British products; and if he intends to include British Airways within the scope of his policy.
§ Mr. Joel BarnettThe nationalised industries are well aware of the Government's views, and the great bulk of their purchases other than of raw materials are made at home. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade is dealing with the specific question of British Airways' acquisition of aircraft in his reply to the hon. Member for Chertsey and Walton (Mr. Pattie).
