HC Deb 14 May 1969 vol 783 cc230-1W
68. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade what percentage of imports by air were carried in British aircraft in 1968, by value; and what was the increase on the previous year.

Mr. William Rodgers

Separate statistics of the value of imports carried by British and foreign airlines are not available. 41 per cent. of imports by air, in terms of weight, were carried by British airlines in 1968 and 45 per cent. in the previous year.
