§ 62. Mr. Farey-Jonesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, in view of the importance to Great Britain's aircraft industry of obtaining full order books, he will ensure that favourable consideration is given to applications by independent airlines for substantial reductions of air fares, thus allowing British manufacturers to provide the extra aircraft needed, to the benefit of the aircraft industry as a whole.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe Air Transport Advisory Council is at present considering applications by independent airlines for services at low fares, and I shall make my decisions on them when I have the Council's advice.
