HL Deb 16 January 1986 vol 469 c1267WA
Lord Mackie of Benshie

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What benefits will accrue to British industry from the agreement with the USA on SDI.

The Minister of State for Defence Support (Lord Trefgarne)

As I said on 9th December 1985 and on a number of occasions since then, Her Majesty's Government are optimistic that British firms and institutions will secure a significant part of the work available in this field.
