§ Mr. Chapmanasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will publish in HANSARD a table showing the annual number of passengers and the amount of freight carried by independent air operators since 1951; and what proportion these are of total British traffic.
§ Mr. WatkinsonYes. The following are the figures. They relate to traffic on scheduled services including approved inclusive tours. The independent operators do not submit to the Ministry figures of traffic on charter services, but I understand that the British Independent Air Transport Association publish in their Annual Reports such figures for their members.
