§ 7. Mr. Rankinasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will state what reason was given by Trans-Canada Airlines in deciding to withdraw their flight dispatch section from Prestwick Airport as from 1st November.
§ Mr. LindgrenThe reason given was the introduction of the new service to London airport via Shannon.
§ Mr. RankinIs my hon. Friend aware that it is claimed that this service has been transferred to Shannon Airport because of the delay in introducing a meteorological service at Prestwick?
§ Mr. LindgrenMy hon. Friend's information is not up to date, because on 14th October, the Trans-Canadian Airways issued a Press statement denying that assertion.
