HC Deb 16 May 1966 vol 728 c190W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Minister of Aviation what plans he has made to employ civilian aircraft to maintain supplies of critical materials, in view of the seamen's strike.

Mr. Mulley

If a need arises for civil aircraft to be chartered by the Government for the maintenance of essential supplies, this task will fall to me, but at present no such need has been foreseen. The position will however be kept under review.
