HC Deb 16 March 1981 vol 1 cc19-20W
41. Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects to make a decision on the future of Government support for Concorde.

Mr. Michael Marshall

The Government have no present intention of discontinuing support for Concorde. However, as hon. Members will be aware, the Select Committee on Industry and Trade is currently inquiring into the operating and associated costs of Concorde. It is not for me to estimate the timing of the Committee's report; nor can I anticipate the form, content, or timing of the Government's response to it.
