§ Mr. ProfumoThe estimated yield of the passenger service charge for the 11 months of 1952–53 during which the charge was in force is £ 185,000.
Air Commodore HarveyIs it proposed to continue the charge in its present form or to pass it on in increased landing fees?
§ Mr. ProfumoAt the present moment it is intended to continue with this system, but my right hon. Friend hopes very much that it may be possible to find some way in which it is not so troublesome to the passengers as they are actually leaving the airport.
