§ 40. Mr. Simmondsasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he proposes to modify in any way the proposed merger of Imperial Airways, Limited, and British Airways, Limited, in order to meet the criticisms against this proposed monopoly?
§ Sir K. WoodIt remains the Government's intention to recommend to Parliament, during the present Session, legislation setting up a public corporation to acquire the existing undertakings of Imperial Airways, Limited, and British Airways, Limited. With regard to the details of this proposal, perhaps my hon. Friend would be good enough to await the necessary legislation, which will be introduced as soon as possible.
