HC Deb 08 March 1967 vol 742 c297W
135. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the British Overseas Airways Corporation have refused to extend to civil servants of the Crown serving in the Middle East the concessions in respect to fares which they grant to members of Her Majesty's armed forces serving alongside them in the same stations; and what action he propses to take to protect the interests of these officers.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Yes. The extent of fares concessions granted by B.O.A.C. to members of the armed forces or others is governed by their commercial judgment. I do not propose to intervene.
