HC Deb 09 July 1997 vol 297 c489W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he next expects to meet German Ministers to discuss the Eurofighter project. [6684]

Mr. Spellar

I can assure the hon. Member that very close and frequent contact at ministerial level has been and will be maintained with German Defence Ministers on Eurofighter. The Government is determined to secure a four nation commitment to move to the production phase of the Eurofighter programme as soon as possible.
