HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 c335W
48. Sir C. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade why he gave his consent to the British Overseas Airways Corporation's policy of offering reduced fares to immigrants coming to the United Kingdom.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

I presume that the hon. Member is referring to immigrants coming from India. Consent was given so that B.O.A.C. could share in carrying this traffic, which would otherwise certainly have been carried by other operators.
