HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 c93W
65. Mr. Corfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish the latest fare proposals put forward by the International Air Transport Association and submitted to him; to what extent he proposes to approve those proposals on behalf of Her Majesty's Government; and how the proposed contract bulk inclusive tour fares compare with current inclusive tour fares under the limitation of Provision 1.

Mr. William Rodgers

After taking the views of other Governments, the Board of Trade has approved some fares on which Formal I.A.T.A. agreement has been reached and, pending further clarification, has, in all other cases, given provisional approval to the fares being charged, all of which have been published by the airlines. Where they apply, contract bulk inclusive tour fares are lower than current fares; the contract bulk inclusive tour minimum prices will be the control prices under Provision 1.
