Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what arrangements he has made with the British Overseas Airways Corporation for the official Royal flight to the Caribbean; and the estimated cost.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

At the request of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies, I am negotiating with B.O.A.C. for the charter of an aircraft for the journeys to and from the Caribbean. The cost of the charter will be borne by the Colonial Office.
