§ Mr. Rankinasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he accepts the proposal in the Edwards Report that British European Airways trunk routes should terminate at Glasgow and Edinburgh; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsAs my hon. Friend will know, B.E.A.s main trunk services to Scotland already terminate at Glasgow and Edinburgh. There is no 339W proposal to change this or to discontinue the direct service to Aberdeen. The White Paper on Civil Aviation Policy indicated that the organisation of regional air services would be examined further.
