HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c253W
56. Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what request he has received from the British Overseas Airways Corporation for compensation for the routes to be transferred to Caledonia/British United Airways; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Anthony Grant

B.O.A.C. has asked for compensation but we have made it clear that air service licences are not a form of property in respect of which compensation could properly be given.
