HC Deb 15 July 1983 vol 45 cc465-6W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he intends to consult the Civil Aviation Authority before deciding when and on what terms to proceed with the privatisation of British Airways.

Mr. David Mitchell

The Government frequently discuss with the CAA a wide range of civil aviation questions applying to the industry at large, and, where these have a bearing on the privatisation of British Airways, I shall of course take note of any views the authority expresses.
