HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 cc320-1W
43. Mr. Michael Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what role his Department is playing in furthering the interests of the British defence industry in the current procurement negotiations for additional North Atlantic Treaty Organisation satellites.

Mr. Pattie

It has been established that the new BAe-Marconi satellite, Skynet 4, meets the NATO requirement and our offer to sell one to NATO is being vigorously promoted.
