HC Deb 30 April 1985 vol 78 c123W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement concerning his recent discussions with arms manufacturers in Europe.

Mr Butler

Apart from his regular and continuing discussions with British industry, my right hon. Friend's only recent discussions with representatives of European defence industries have been with Dassault and on these I have nothing to add to the answer he gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Preston (Mr. Thorne).
