§ Mr. George ThomasThe air restrictions imposed by the Spanish Government came into effect in May, 1967. There was a reduction of approximately 6 per cent. in total air traffic to Gibraltar in 1967 compared with 1966. It is difficult to say to what extent this was due to the Spanish restrictions, as a number of factors may have contributed. Bookings for 1968 suggest that the increased flow discernible in recent months will be maintained.
