HC Deb 18 October 1968 vol 770 c190W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Transport what investment the Transport Holding Company has made in inclusive tour air travel; and on what authority.

Mr. Swingler

Through the interests it inherited in various companies, particularly bus companies and travel agencies, the Transport Holding Company has always had a considerable stake in inclusive tour travel, including air tours. Development of these activities is undertaken in accordance with the objects of the Company laid down in the Transport Act, 1962, which require it to act as if it were a company engaged in a commercial enterprise.
