HC Deb 08 December 1993 vol 234 c277W
19. Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with other Departments concerning the future of the Jetstream factory at Prestwick; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stewart

The Scottish Office has been in close touch with colleagues in other Departments, in particular the Department of Trade and Industry, about Jetstream Aircraft. The Government's commitment to the future development of the Prestwick manufacturing factory is evidenced by a substantial offer of regional selective assistance—one of the largest offers ever made in Scotland.
