§ 23. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Minister of Aviation whether he will make a statement on the Government's fares policy as it effects the nationalised air corporations and the independent airlines.
§ 25. Mr. F. Harrisasked the Minister of Aviation if he has yet reached any decision, following the recommendations from the Air Transport Advisory Council, to enable air charter companies to meet public demand for greatly reduced air fares on the London-East African services.
§ Mr. SandysThe necessary consultations on this subject with the other Governments concerned are not yet completed. However, I hope to be able to make a statement on this subject in a few weeks' time.
§ Mr. ChetwyndCan the Minister say whether these low fares are likely to operate by April, which, I believe, is the date selected for them?
§ Mr. SandysI think that that is most unlikely.
