33. Mr. Pike

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what discussions he has had with the aerospace industry in relation to the United kingdom share of work in the Eurofighter project. [7922]

Mr. Eggar

My Department is staying in close touch with industry and, with the MOD, it is seeking to ensure a fair and realistic distribution of work in the Eurofighter project. My Department is also seeking to help secure the best conditions for UK industry's participation in Eurofighter through its own contacts with Governments and industry at home and abroad.
