Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that we hope that there will be no deal with COMSAT and the United States Government before there has been previous discussion in the House? Is he further aware that many hon. Members on both sides of the House and the whole of the telecommunication industry are disturbed that Britain is not playing a more positive and prominent part in space communication? Is he aware that there is now a growing feeling that, according to the trend of present talks, we shall finally end by starving the transatlantic cable of telegraphic communications from America and assisting COMSAT to get off the ground, and that Britain will merely end up by renting a line from the Americans? Can the right hon. Gentleman assure us that none of these things will happen at the conclusion of his talks with the Americans?
