HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 cc52-5W
83. Mr. Awbery

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will state the terms of the agreement in the lease granted to the Cambrian Airways to operate the Cardiff-Weston air service.

Mr. Lindgren

The Air Corporations, more particularly the British European Airways Corporation, have received numerous applications from private companies to be allowed to operate on certain routes regular services reserved to the Corporations, their agents or associates under the Civil Aviation Act, 1946. Where the services are of a seasonal or special character and direct operation by the Corporations would lead to unjustified expense or diversion of effort in the present stage of their development, associate agreements have been granted under Section 14 (4) of the Act, provided the services are desirable in the public interest and ground facilities either exist or can be provided without substantial extra cost to the taxpayer. These agreements

1. INCLUSIVE TOURS* APPROVED UNDER SECTION 14 (4) OF THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT AS AT 10TH JUNE, 1948.
