§ 39. Mr. A. Robertsasked the Minister of Transport if he will consider giving power to the British Transport Commission to develop helicopter services between principal towns.
§ Mr. MarplesI know of no such proposal by the British Transport Commission to operate such services.
§ Mr. RobertsIs the Minister interested in the development of helicopter travel between main stations, or is he going to leave it to private developers to introduce this kind of travel?
§ Mr. MarplesI hesitate to anticipate any statement which may be made on the matter, but I think there is a lot of work for the British Transport Commission to do in the near future.
