§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade why under the prices and incomes policy, landing fees at airports run by the Board of Trade and the British Airports Authority are higher than those chargeable by municipal airports.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe recent increases in landing fees at Heathrow and Board of Trade aerodromes and in navigation service charges at those aerodromes where the National Air Traffic 291W Control Service provide this service apply to international services only. They were imposed following devaluation to maintain our earnings of foreign exchange and being international in character were regarded as within prices and incomes policy.
