§ 6. Colonel Errollasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil 1299 Aviation whether the Government intend to develop regular air freight services independently of passenger and passenger-cum-freight services.
Mr. Ivor ThomasIt is the Government's intention that the air transport corporations shall provide adequate transport for all air traffic needs including special freight services where justified.
§ Colonel ErrollDoes that reply exclude the possibility of privately operated freight services?
Mr. ThomasIt does not exclude the possibility, but all regular scheduled services will be run by the public corporations.
§ Sir W. WakefieldDoes that mean that any industry that wished to run regular aircraft from Manchester to Lille or some other service of that kind, would be precluded from doing so?
