HC Deb 26 June 1961 vol 643 cc4-5W
62. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Aviation what consideration he has given to the effect upon British Overseas Airways Corporation of the decision of the Air Transport Licensing Board to grant to Cunard Eagle Airways a 15-year licence to operate on the North Atlantic routes.

Mr. Rippon

British Overseas Airways Corporation has stated publicly that it intends to appeal to my right hon. Friend against the decision of the Air Transport Licensing Board. It would be improper for him to express any opinion on matters which may come before him in the course of an appeal.
