HC Deb 09 February 1967 vol 740 c357W
Mr. Crawshaw

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent it is his Department's policy that initial effort to develop air services from the north-west region should be centred on Manchester; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The development of air services in the north-west region is, subject to licensing, a matter for the commercial judgment of airlines.
