HC Deb 21 June 1950 vol 476 c126W
93. Mr. J. Grimston

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation what tenders he has invited from the British Overseas Airways Corporation for transport by air of Service men and women between the United Kingdom and West Africa between July, 1950, and April, 1951; and what reply he has received from the British Overseas Airways Corporation.

Mr. Beswick

British Overseas Airways Corporation and a number of charter companies were recently invited, on behalf of the War Office, to submit tenders for charter flights for the transport of Service men and women between the United Kingdom and West Africa. It would be contrary to established practice to disclose their reply.
