HC Deb 23 May 1972 vol 837 cc341-2W
62. Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects to receive from the British Air- ways Board its report on the organisation of the group, and its recommendations on the future structure of civil aviation; and how soon he expects to be able to lay his proposals before Parliament as required by the Civil Aviation Act.

Mr. Onslow

Mr. Nicholson has told my right hon. Friend that he hopes to make a report on the organisation of the British Airways Board group in July. The report will be laid before both Houses. The Act does not require my right hon. Friend to lay proposals before Parliament, but it would of course be our intention to keep Parliament informed.
