HC Deb 19 February 1986 vol 92 c157W
Mr. Harris

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the implications of the proposed sale of British Airways helicopters for the future of the Penzance to Isles of Scilly helicopter link.

Mr. Michael Spicer

I understand from British Airways that steps have been taken to restore the Penzance to Isles of Scilly helicopter link to profitability and that British Airways helicopters have no intention of terminating that service in the foreseeable future. British Airways is in discussion with a number of parties about the possible disposal of British Airways helicopters, but no agreement has yet been reached.
