HC Deb 12 March 1969 vol 779 c302W
89. Mr. Onslow

asked the President of the Board of Trade by what authority he has sanctioned half-price fares for Swedish wives travelling by air with their husbands from Sweden to London, without instructing the airlines concerned to offer similar reductions to British wives travelling with their hubsands from London to Sweden.

Mr. William Rodgers

No question of Government sanction or instructions arises, as these fares are a matter of commercial judgment for the airlines concerned within I.A.T.A. rules.
