HC Deb 20 February 1989 vol 147 c441W
Mr. David Young

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when renewals of aircraft in the Queen's Flight will be required; if he will make it his policy to purchase such aircraft from British manufacturers; and if he will make a statment.

Mr. Sainsbury

Replacement dates for aircraft in the Queen's Flight are kept under review. Our procurement policy for such aircraft, as for other equipment, is aimed at meeting the requirement in the most cost-effective way.
