HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 c86W
29. Mrs. Roe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when European Community Ministers will be reviewing the aviation liberalisation package agreed in December 1987.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The package of measures agreed in December 1987 contains a commitment that the Council will take a second, more radical, step in June 1990, on the basis of commission proposals to be submitted by 1 November this year.

United Kingdom airlines and their passengers have benefited significantly from the December 1987 measures and we shall be seeking substantial further liberalisation in the next round.
