HC Deb 24 March 1986 vol 94 cc360-1W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is causing the delay in a settlement of the Bermuda 2 agreement; when he expects to conclude an agreement; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Negotiations are taking place with the United States Government about a replacement for the capacity annex (Annex 2) of the Bermuda 2 air services agreement. This annex is due to expire in July of this year. I hope that agreement on new provisions can be reached soon.
