§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Trade what penalties he proposes for airlines and travel agents and others who engage in fare discounting in violation of recommended IATA rates.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisThe enforcement of IATA rates is in the first place a matter for IATA itself. Where Government-approved fares are involved the Civil Aviation Authority has power to prosecute for breaches of the terms of 381W the licences of British airlines, and the Department of Trade can act similarly against foreign airlines operating into the United Kingdom.
I am advised that the travel trade associations are supporting measures to stamp out discounting and are considering their own enforcement methods.
