§ 23. Mr. Terry Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Industry when British Aerospace hopes to announce its first orders for the HS146 feeder-liner; and if he will make a statement about progress on the project as a whole.
§ Mr. KaufmanBritish Aerospace informs me that the world's airlines have reacted well to the British Aerospace 146 and discussions are in progress. These are expected to lead to orders but it is too early to give precise dates. The production schedule is tight and the success of this important project will require the full co-operation of all sections of the work force.
