HC Deb 26 January 1971 vol 810 cc87-8W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements he will now make to protect the holiday arrangements of those affected by the Transport Holding Company's decision to appoint a receiver for Skyways Coach Air.

Mr. Peyton

The Transport Holding Company have stated that they will make refunds in respect of money already received by Skyways for unusable travel tickets and deposits made by certain tour operators.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many applications for fares increases Sky-cars Coach Air have made to the Air Transport Licensing Board in each of the years 1960 to 1970; what decisions have been given; and how many appeals have been made on these decisions.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I have been asked to reply.

Most of Skyways Coach Air's services are international and the fares are subject to negotiation in I.A.T.A. The company has never applied to the Air Transport Licensing Board for increased fares on its domestic services.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on the Transport Holding Company's decision to appoint a receiver for Skyways Coach Air.

Mr. Peyton

I have nothing to add to the answer given to the right hon. Member for Sheffield, Park (Mr. Mulley) yesterday.—[Vol. 810, c. 31–3.]
