§ 53. Mr. Dempseyasked the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to consider the report on the Law Commission regarding British tourists stranded abroad while on charter flights; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuIf my hon. Friend has in mind the inquiry into exclusion clauses now being undertaken by a joint working party of the two Law Commissions, no date can yet be given for their report.
§ Mr. DempseyIn the light of this report, will my hon. Friend consider taking steps to ensure that agencies which promote these charter flights guarantee the return of tourists, many of whom are stranded abroad owing to the fact that foreign airlines in particular, due to their financial structure, instability and other considerations, are unable to return them?
§ Mr. MallalieuWe must await the conclusions on the report.
