Aerospace Research (Carad Programme)

EDM number 84 in 1998-99, proposed by David Chidgey on 07/12/1998.

That this House notes with concern that United Kingdom public investment in aerospace research and technical development is proportionately the lowest in Europe; is alarmed that the Government is contemplating abandoning the already low ú22 million Civil Aerospace Research and Development (CARAD) programme which would cause long term damage to the industry and send the wrong signals to potential european partners at a critical point in discussions on consolidation; further notes that aerospace is Britain's largest manufacturing industry and one of the few left that are truly world class; and calls on the Government to continue and expand the CARAD programme as a measure of its commitment to the future of an industry vital to Britain's economic strength.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
