§ 6. Mr. K. Lewisasked the Minister of Aviation whether he has had replies from the British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways in reply to the representations he has made to them requesting their views on the possibility of the corporations providing seats on certain routes for candidates who have volunteered for overseas service.
§ Mr. MartenYes. Both Corporations have replied that they regret they are unable to offer fare concessions to these volunteers, but as my hon. Friend the Secretary for Technical Co-operation announced recently in the House, the Government will in effect meet 50 per cent. of transportation costs for the 1964 programme and 75 per cent. next year.
