HC Deb 31 January 1951 vol 483 c126W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether he has any further information to give on the possibility of running flying boat or helicopter services among the islands of Scotland.

Mr. Beswick

No. British European Airways Corporation are not equipped to undertake flying boat operations and no other company has shown any interest in undertaking such a service. On the possibility of running helicopters, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 28th November, 1950.
