§ Mr. Onslowasked the President of the Board of Trade how many applications for inclusive tour licences have been referred back by the Air Transport Licensing Board during the past 12 months on the grounds that the proposed charge was too low.
§ Mr. William RodgersOf a total of 831 charter inclusive tour licences granted by the Air Transport Licensing Board in the last twelve months 29 prescribed a tariff higher than that for which application had been made. The hon. Member will recall that the minimum control prices for inclusive tours designed to safeguard the wider public interest have been very substantially reduced next winter as a result of the new approved tariff which my right hon. Friend announced on 4th April, 1968.
