HC Deb 05 June 1972 vol 838 c13W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of Statef or Trade and Industry what he is doing to promote inter-Governmental discussions with the Chinese Government on the air route to Peking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Onslow

Following the visit of a BOAC delegation to Peking in early May we have proposed to the Chinese Government that intergovernmental negotiations on air services should begin as soon as practicable.
