Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 September 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Aerospace Industry.
Aerospace Industry
I am glad that the hon. Gentleman mentioned the Airbus A320. I happened to fly in one of the test models. It was, of course, a good example of Government and industry working together; the Thatcher Government put £250 million into the programme. Margaret Thatcher took a lot of persuading, but eventually even she agreed that Government intervention on that was a good idea.
