HC Deb 09 January 1978 vol 941 cc616-7W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what direct or indirect contribution has been made from public funds, and how much from each named source, towards the £13 million expended on research and development of the British Leyland B15 bus, now called the Titan.

Mr. Les Huckfield

There has been no contribution from public funds specifically for the B15 project. British Leyland and the National Bus Company—which also has an interest in the project—receive contributions from public funds towards the financing of their business as a whole.
