HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 cc266-7W
Group-Captain Wilcock

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether he will give an assurance that there shall be only one class of travel on the public airline corporations and that any luxury travel shall be left to charter companies to cater for.

Mr. Ivor Thomas

No, Sir. On services or. which more than one type of aircraft is operated it would be impracticable to standardise the amenities offered to the public. It would also be undesirable, as it would unreasonably restrict the development of regular air services, would be detrimental to the interests of travellers, and would limit the earning capacity of the services in the interests of taxpayers.
