HC Deb 26 October 1955 vol 545 cc31-2W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps are being taken to improve air communications between the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

At the invitation of the Soviet Government a small delegation from my Department will be visiting Moscow in the second week of November to explore the possibilities of improving air communications between our two countries. The main purpose of these discussions is to prepare the ground for the airlines of the two countries to establish links with Aeroflot at suitable points served by the airlines of both countries.
