Concorde

Mr. Nelson
asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he has received the joint studies by British and French officials of options for the future of Concorde; and when he will discuss these with the French Minister of Transport.

Mr. Norman Lamont
The joint Anglo-French studies have now been submitted to the two Governments, and I shall be meeting the French Minister of Transport, M. Fiterman, in Paris on 6 May to consider them and other matters related to the future of Concorde.
