HC Deb 27 November 1981 vol 13 c507W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will make a statement regarding the future development of the British Aerospace A320 airbus.

Mr. Wakeham

British Aerospace is still considering the basis for its participation in the proposed Airbus A320 project. The Government have received an approach about launch aid towards development costs. But full information is not yet available and no decision has yet been reached.
