HC Deb 29 June 1981 vol 7 c268W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list the aircraft, including helicopters, which currently qualify for sales financing support under the terms of the Civil Aviation Act 1949.

Mr. Michael Marshall

There is no list of aircraft and helicopters which qualify for sales financing support under the terms of the Civil Aviation Act 1949.

As previously announced, the Government have agreed to provide assistance to support the terms for the sale of Airbus aircraft to British Caledonian Airways and Laker Airways in fulfilment of an accord with the French and German Governments to give full support to the sales financing arrangements for the Airbus programme.
