HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c44W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will give the reasons why he has rejected the bid of Air Freight for Skyways Coach Air; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

Negotiations for the sale of Skyways Coach Air Ltd. or its assets are a matter for the Receiver, but I understand that Air Freight Ltd. has not made any firm bid. The Receiver has, however, now received an acceptable offer from another source and hopes to complete negotiations shortly.
