§ Mr. Lubbockasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will issue a general direction to the British Overseas Airways Corporation not to give effect to advice on commercial matters proferred by persons outside the Corporation; and how much has been written off in the accounts of the Corporation as a result of the withdrawal of advertising campaigns in the financial year 1967–68.
§ Mr. DarlingNo. This is entirely a matter for the Corporation's commercial judgment. I understand that it will cost the Corporation less than £50 to provide a replacement for an advertisement recently withdrawn.
