HC Deb 21 June 2000 vol 352 c204W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the prospects for the aerospace industry in Wales. [126280]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I acknowledge the significant contribution that a strong aerospace industry has made to the economic life of Wales in recent years, particularly the British Aerospace Systems Airbus facility at Broughton. I hope the Government's announcement of £530 million for the A3XX project will consolidate and enhance this position.
