HC Deb 06 December 1965 vol 722 c29W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether, in order to encourage small exporters, he will seek to arrange for facilities for joint booking to be provided so as to obtain the benefit of party rates of air fares.

Mr. Mason

Facilities already exist for groups, under certain conditions, to book flights at reduced rates on scheduled air services. In addition, for trade missions organised by approved sponsoring organisations (trade associations, chambers of commerce or similar non-trading bodies) the British National Export Council will refund up to 50 per cent. of the cost of passages from and to the United Kingdom.
