HC Deb 21 March 1978 vol 946 c541W
33. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which British companies are exhibiting at the exhibition in Aldershot in June organised by his Defence Sales Organisation; and why the British public are being excluded.

Dr. Gilbert

Over 200 firms are expected to participate in the British Army equipment exhibition. The full list has not yet been drawn up.

The purpose of the exhibition is to display to potential customers a wide range of British ground force equipment available for purchase. Much of the equipment on show will be exhibited by the appropriate regiments at the Aldershot Army display, which takes place immediately after the exhibition, and to which the public are welcome.
