§ Lord TREFGARNEasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will list the countries of the world from which British Airways is prevented from remitting its earnings to the United Kingdom; and what is the amount presently thus frozen in each case.
Lord ORAMBritish Airways have informed me that there are no countries where the remittance of their earnings falls within a blocked category. There are, of course, countries where such remittances are subject to considerable delay through exchange control formalities or shortage of foreign exchange.
