HC Deb 11 July 1960 vol 626 c958
8. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he will give a general direction to the air corporations to publish all agreements entered into with independent airlines for a sharing of routes and traffic.

Mr. Sandys

No, Sir.

Mr. Chetwynd

Why not? Is not the House entitled to know to what extent the revenues of the nationalised companies are being eaten into by the independents?

Mr. Sandys

These are commercial agreements, and it is for the airlines themselves to decide whether it is appropriate that they should be published.
