HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 cc54-5W
56. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Civil Aviation if he is aware of the concern created among employees of the air corporation by his predecessor's statement, in the Annual Report of the Air Transport Advisory Council, that a new policy with regard to private participation in this industry is impending; and if he will give details of the proposals to which his predecessor referred.

Mr. Maudling

My right hon. Friend has arranged for consultation with the trade union side of the National Joint Council this week and will have the opportunity of hearing their views at first hand. On the second part of the Question, I must ask the hon. Member to await the statement of Government policy, which will not be unnecessarily delayed.
