HC Deb 15 October 1969 vol 788 cc95-6W
52. Mr. Rankin

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that airlines do not operate in a free market, he will accept the recommendation of the Edwards Committee that airport charges should be approved by the authority responsible for fixing airline fares and rates.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

I am afraid that my hon. Friend must await the publication of the Government's White Paper to learn our views on this.
