Motion text

That this House notes that only a full commitment from Her Majesty's Government to the European Future Large Aircraft programme broadly in line with the United Kingdom's major European allies would secure and create employment for some 7,500 aerospace workers throughout the United Kingdom and would provide high technology work for British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Shorts as well as significant prospects for over 60 equipment supply companies in more than 100 constituencies; further notes that the American Lockheed C-130J programme would offer virtually no work to the United Kingdom's airframe or engine manufacturers, would provide only 1,780 direct aerospace jobs and a similar number of indirect jobs, and would involve significant investment in and support to the US aerospace industry; also notes that the FLA programme will be the last major military aerospace project in the United Kingdom for the next decade or more; urges the Secretary of State for Defence to allow the Feasibility Study on the FLA to be presented in the spring of 1995 before he comes to any decision about a replacement for the Hercules; also urges the President of the Board of Trade to be mindful of both the trade benefits and employment opportunities for skilled British workers of a decision to support the FLA programme; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to commit to the European Future Large Aircraft programme at launch, thereby ensuring the associated industrial and employment benefits to the United Kingdom.
