§ 51. Mr. Biffenasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he has read, The Price of Air Travel, by Michael Cooper and Alan Maynard and published by the Institute of Economic Affairs, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement on its proposals in the light of the Conference of International Air Transport Association which opens at Montreal on 28th June.
§ Mr. NobleI am aware of this pamphlet, which makes proposals that I could not accept. B.O.A.C. has my full support in pressing for lower fares at the forthcoming conference.
