HC Deb 21 December 1966 vol 738 c354W
Mr. Baker

asked the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has for the expansion of air freight services; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

Subject to licensing, the development of freight services is mainly a matter for the operators. I am glad to say that British air freight services worldwide are developing very rapidly and the new cargo facilities at Heathrow, which are being pushed ahead by the airlines and the Airport Authority, are evidence of this.
