HC Deb 13 November 1978 vol 958 cc24-5W
28. Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he is satisfied with progress towards the achievement of an agreed policy towards the aerospace construction industry within the European Economic Community.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The Government's view is that the prime responsibility in this field lies with the manufacturers. The entry of British Aerospace into Airbus Industries will be a major step towards the establishment of a European aircraft industry.
