HC Deb 16 December 1954 vol 535 c177W
64. Mr. Drayson

asked the President of the Board of Trade to recommend to official trade delegations from the United Kingdom to other countries that they should as far as possible when travelling by air, use British airlines, or lines operated by the country to be visited and not airlines of a third country.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

British airlines are of a quality and provide a standard of service so high that they need no special recommendation from me.
