§ 21. Mr. Prescottasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether it is proposed to reinstate the London-to-Manchester passenger air service; and if not, the reasons therefor.
§ Mr. LindgrenOver the 14 months in which this service was operated by British European Airways Corporation, the passenger demand was low and the service consequently lost money. My noble Friend cannot contemplate any addition to the Corporation's deficits at the present time, and he cannot therefore hold out prospects of the renewal of this service in the immediate future.
