To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will invite hon. Members to attend the forthcoming Royal Navy and British Army Equipment Exhibition at Farnborough. [5694]

Mr. Spellar

[holding answer 27 June 1997]: Invitations to RNBAEE are extended to members of the Defence Select Committee, the Trade and industry Select Committee, and the All Party Defence Study Group. Exhibitors are also free to invite individual hon. Members. While a blanket invitation is not normally extended to all hon. Members, the Government would be willing to host any Members who express a firm interest in attending.
