HC Deb 14 February 1984 vol 54 c167W
25. Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will hold discussions with the United States authorities regarding offset arrangements in relation to the Trident project.

Mr. Pattie

No. Arrangements already exist which allow United Kingdom firms to compete on equal terms with their United States counterparts for work to meet both United States and United Kingdom requirements for the weapon system programme.
