HC Deb 13 November 1978 vol 958 c24W
27. Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will discuss with the corporation the financial prospects of the British Aerospace HS146 airliner now that the £ sterling has risen above the level of $1.95 beyond which British Aerospace has stated it could not make the project profitable; and if he will make a statement about this and alternative projects.

Mr. Les Huckfield

It is primarily the responsibility of Birtish Aerospace to keep the commercial prospects of its products under review.
