HC Deb 25 February 1970 vol 796 cc337-8W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what recent representations about hi-jacking and acts of air terrorism he has received from the British Airline Pilots Association and the International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Mason

This year the Board of Trade has received one letter from the British Airline Pilots Association relating to security arrangements at airports in the United Kingdom and abroad. A reply will shortly be sent.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what recent representations he has received from British European Airways and the British Overseas Airways Corporation about hijacking and other acts of air terrorism; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Mason

None; but the Board of Trade is naturally in close touch with both Corporations about these matters.
