HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 c636W
Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how much has been spent by his Department on research in the last four years.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The information is as follows:

ways Concorde on from Washington to Dallas. However, this agreement cannot be effective until a United States type certificate of airworthiness has been granted and a number of other legal obstacles resolved.

Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will make a statement on the negotiations with the Malaysian Government to allow Concorde to overfly the Malacca Straits.

Mr. Clinton Davis

During talks with a Malaysian delegation in London on 24th-25th May, answers were provided to the outstanding questions about Concorde's effect on Malaysia's environment and my Department asked that the Concorde service be allowed to resume as soon as possible. A general election in Malaysia has since intervened. We are now considering how best to achieve an early favourable decision.
