HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 c55W
55. Mr. John Taylor

asked the Minister of Civil Aviation why the private company which was given permission to operate an air service between Belfast, Prestwick, Edinburgh, Errol, for Dundee and Perth, and Aberdeen, has failed to commence this service, although it was understood that they would do so in June, 1951.

Mr. Maudling

The company did not accept the conditions on which this service was first approved in February, 1951, and discussions on their modifications were not completed until the summer. Whether the service can now be introduced is a matter solely for the commercial judgment of the company.
