HC Deb 12 March 1952 vol 497 c1358
4. Mr. F. Beswick

asked the Minister of Civil Aviation the policy of Her Majesty's Government with regard to the continued separate existence of the British European Airways and the British Overseas Airways Corporations.

Mr. Maclay

No change in the separate existence of the two Corporations is under consideration.

Mr. Beswick

Is the Minister aware that this reply will give widespread satisfaction on both sides of the House, and is he also aware that it will do much to allay apprehensions that have been caused in one of the Corporations by recent rumours?
