HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 cc253-4W
68. Dr. John Dunwoody

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to encourage the improvement of passenger and goods air services between the development areas and the remainder of the country.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

I am fully aware of the importance of air services in the promotion of regional develop- ment. But the initiative in seeking licences rests with the operators, in the light of their judgment of the traffic potential.
