HC Deb 02 March 1949 vol 462 c344
25. Mr. Geoffrey Cooper

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation what steps have been taken to reserve fifth freedom rights for the use of Gander Aerodrome during the time that consideration has been given to the transfer of this aerodrome to Canadian control.

Mr. Lindgren

Discussions with the Canadian Government about this and other matters arising from the transfer of Gander to Canadian control, are now in progress at Ottawa.

Mr. Coopers

Is it intended that in due time a report will be made of the discussions, or will merely an indication be given that freedom rights have been preserved for this country?

Mr. Lindgren

Yes, Sir. The report will be made because, as well as our own, there are the freedom rights associated with bilateral agreements.
