HC Deb 06 November 1968 vol 772 c99W
Mr. Bessell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of rates of pay of all categories of staff employed by cleaning and catering contractors at all British airports under the control of the British Airports Authority.

Mr. William Rodgers

No, this is a matter between the contractors and their staff.

Mr. Bessell

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce legislation to enable him to require the British Airports Authority to exercise proper control over catering and cleaning firms who contract with the said Authority, which would ensure that the conditions of those contracts are fulfilled in respect of adequate staff, well cooked food and general conditions of cleaniness at all airports under the control of the British Airports Authority.

Mr. William Rodgers

No.
