Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what information he has received from the National Enterprise Board concerning the decision of Rolls-Royce Ltd. to launch a product support factory in the United States of America; and on what date the National Enterprise Board was informed of this.

The NEB has informed the Department that it received a proposal from Rolls-Royce on 15 March relating to a product support facility in the United States which I understand the board is now considering.
