Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what estimates have been supplied to him of sales of Rolls-Royce RB211–35 engines over the next five years.

Mr. Michael Marshall

The engine is not scheduled to enter airline service until 1983, However, firm orders have already been placed for 42 aircraft powered by RB211–535 engines with options for a further 42. Rolls-Royce believes the long term sales prospects for the engine are very good.
