§ 1. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Aviation if he is aware that air flights between Scotland and London are few, uncertain, unpunctual in starting and arriving, and lack co-ordination with flights from abroad so that travellers miss their connections; and if he will take steps, by legislation and general direction, to rectify this.
§ Mr. HughesWill the Minister say why his Ministry is no longer "Civil Aviation"? Does he realise that this uncertainty and unpunctuality which is complained of in my Question is bad for business and contrary to the expressed policy of the Government to foster trade, industry, commerce and employment in Scotland? What does he propose to do about this? Will he insert the word "Civil" once more into his title?
§ Mr. AmeryI confess I am rather surprised by—if I may so call it—the ingratitude of the hon. and learned Member. I understand that British European Airways have just laid on a daily service from Aberdeen to London and return.
