HC Deb 15 December 1948 vol 459 c1199
37. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Walter Smiles

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation by what date the contingent claims between the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Supply and the B.E.A., referred to in paragraph 25 of the B.E.A. report for the year ended 31st March, 1948, will be settled.

Mr. Lindgren

The negotiations regarding the Viking contingent claims have proved protracted, but I expect that they will be settled in the near future and that the necessary accounting adjustments will be made in the books of B.E.A.C. during the current financial year.
