Vol. 317 No. 5

Written Answers. - Government Executive Jet.

377.

asked the Minister for Defence the cost of repair or replacement of the Government executive jet and if the purchase of a new jet is under consideration.

The transport aircraft which was damaged recently at Casement Aerodrome was on lease to my Department from British Aerospace and the cost of repairing it is a matter for that company. Arrangements have been made for the supply of a replacement aircraft on the same terms and conditions as applied to the original lease.

A contract was placed in April 1979 with British Aerospace for the purchase of a Hawker Siddeley 125 Series 700 aircraft which is due to be delivered in January 1980.
