HC Deb 05 July 1988 vol 136 c530W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the implications for the military helicopter ordering programme of the proposed restructuring of Westland through the sale of Fiat's 16.7 per cent. stake to UTC.

Mr. Sainsbury

It is not expected that the proposed sale of Fiat's holding in Westland Helicopters to UTC will have any effect on the military helicopter ordering programme.
