Extract from PMQs: Aerospace Growth Partnership - Mar 14

Leo Docherty (Aldershot) (Con): In my constituency, Farnborough, in the borough of Rushmoor, is the birthplace of British aviation and is now home to a thriving range of aviation, aerospace and defence businesses—including Airbus, with its Zephyr. Will my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister join me in extending our best wishes to the Zephyr team as they look forward to making a world-record-breaking attempt for high altitude unmanned aviation? 

The Prime Minister: I am very happy to join my hon. Friend in wishing all the very best to the Zephyr team in the attempt that they are making. He is right that his constituency plays a crucial role in the aerospace industry. I am pleased to say that we are continuing to work with that industry through the Aerospace Growth Partnership to ensure that we can further enhance the industry. We wish the Zephyr team well.
