HC Deb 10 July 1968 vol 768 c61W
17. Mr. Maude

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give an undertaking that neither the hearing of the appeals by British Eagle and Caledonian airlines from the decision of the Air Transport Licensing Board nor his decision will be delayed pending the publication of the Edwards' Committee Report.

Mr. William Rodgers

Any appeals lodged against this decision must be handled in accordance with the statutory procedures in force, to which the proceedings of the Edwards Committee are irrelevant.
