HC Deb 28 February 1951 vol 484 c299W
111. Mr. Erroll

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if, in view of the likelihood of widespread dislocation of railway traffic due to intended strike action, he will make a statement on the direction he will issue to British European Airways Corporation with regard to the making of preliminary plans for the introduction of daily air passenger services between London and Manchester and other provincial centres likely to be affected immediately a strike begins.

Mr. Beswick

No. It would not be in the public interest to make such a statement.
