HC Deb 29 July 1959 vol 610 c72W
51. Mr. Pargiter

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation from what date Independent Air Transport was precluded from operating Inclusive Tour associate scheduled services; at what date this suspension was removed; and how many passengers were illegally carried during this period of suspension.

Mr. Watkinson

The company was informed on 27th October, 1958, that I was not prepared to approve the operation of scheduled associate services by it pending a satisfactory report on its operational standards.

I have not yet reinstated the company for such operations.

Investigations into the carriage of passengers by the company on flights operated since that date are proceeding.
