§ Mr. Martenasked the Minister of Aviation by what criteria, when a nationalised Air Corporation submits a tender for trooping, Her Majesty's 94W Government will judge whether the tender is commercially competitive.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsPrimarily by reference to competing tenders and to current contract prices. In the unlikely event of a Corporation offering what are,prima facie, unduly low prices for trooping work, I have the necessary statutory power to require information for the purpose of satisfying myself that the Corporation's finances will not be adversely affected by carrying out the work at the prices quoted.
