Mr. Macdonald
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions the Government have had with the joint venture company recently formed by British Aerospace and Thomson-CSF.
Mr. Alan Clark
The MOD has been informed by BAe and Thomson-CSF of the companies' proposal to form a joint venture defence weapon system company to be known as Eurodynamics. Subject to consideration of national security and competition implications in the light of the detailed proposals by the companies, the MOD would welcome the proposition.
