§ 24. Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry 232W whether he will make a statement about his negotiations with the United States Civil Aeronautics Board about capacity on flights between London and Miami.
§ Mr. OnslowThe capacity on services between London and Miami was discussed at several rounds of consultations with the US governmental authorities from October, 1971 until July, 1972 but no agreement was reached. We have limited the capacity of National, the US carrier, in conformity with the Bermuda agreement, so that only four of its seven weekly services may be by Boeing 747 aircraft. BAOC is mounting similar services. We remain willing to resume consultations if the US authorities wish.
