§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for Industry whether it remains his intention that Rolls-Royce (1971) Ltd. will be required to secure a 10 per cent. rate of return on capital employed by 1981 and to maintain progress toward the achievement of that rate in the interval.
§ Mr. Michael MarshallThe present financial duty is placed on the National Enterprise Board. When the Department monitors Rolls-Royce directly it will make clear the financial requirement against which the company's performance will be judged. At present Rolls-Royce is still planning to achieve the 10 per cent. rate of return by 1981.
