§ 90. Mr. E. L. Mallalieuasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the number of days on which civil air transport between London and the Continent was delayed by fog or other adverse weather conditions during 1954; and the number of hours involved.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterAir traffic between London and the Continent may be delayed owing to adverse weather in the United Kingdom or at the Continental166W aerodrome, or by weather en route. Delays in bad weather will also depend upon the application of companies' weather minima. There are also many causes of delay not connected with the weather and I regret that I could not, without an unjustifiable amount of research, analyse all delays over the year so as to isolate those due to weather.
