§ Mr. Ron Lewisasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make representations to the Federal Government of Australia, with a view to lifting their ban on charter aircraft from England to Australia and back, in order to enable the mar[...] y British people who wish to visit their relations on a short-term basis to do so.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe Australian authorities have permitted charters for this purpose since last year. They have, however, set minimum charges and given the scheduled airlines preferential access to the business. Representations were made to the Australian authorities in favour of a freer policy some months ago.
