HC Deb 09 December 1969 vol 793 cc114-5W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give general directions to British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways to publish in their annual reports a breakdown of the financial results of their operations by routes or geographical area.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

No. The question of publication of more financial data should be looked at in the context of the industry as a whole. For the present I do not think that the publication of financial results in the detail suggested should be forced upon either the air corporations or other airlines.
