§ Miss McIntoshTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what representations he has received on the Singapore-UK air services agreement; and if he will make a statement. [72163]
§ Dr. ReidA number of representations have been received on the UK/Singapore air services arrangements, which already provide for unlimited capacity from Summer 2001. At the bilateral negotiations which took place earlier this month my officials confirmed that we would review Singapore's request for transatlantic fifth freedom rights either when we have liberalised the air services arrangements between the UK and the United States or in January 2000, whichever is the sooner.
