HC Deb 02 April 1947 vol 435 cc2024-5
29. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will state the number of people employed by B.O.A.C. at Bovingdon airport in December last and today; the number of aircraft handled; and the number of passengers carried in these aircraft.

Mr. Lindgren

No, Sir. This question relates to a matter within the sphere of management which is left by the statute to the Corporation.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

While I am glad that something is being left to the Corporation, may I ask if figures like this will appear in the statements rendered to Parliament shortly by the Corporations?

Mr. Lindgren

I doubt whether detailed figures of employment at the various airports will be included in the statements, but I will take note of the point, and, in so far as the larger centres of employment are concerned, I will see whether it can be done.
