§ Mr. Warrenasked the Secretary of State for Trade what discussions have been held with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States of America to consider the impact of proposals being studied by that board on British airlines with the right to operate to and from the United States in so far as the proposals recommend the freer entry into and exit from long-haul trunkline scheduled passenger markets.
§ Mr. DeakinsNone. A National Transportation Policy Statement presented to the US Congress by the Secretary for Transportation on 17th September 1975 included such proposals for American domestic routes; but if those proposals were adopted the position of British airlines under the UK-US Air Services Agreement would not be affected.
