HC Deb 17 April 1978 vol 948 c8W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade why he considers that the trans-Atlantic services to destinations other than New York at low fares accepted by the United States Government, but originally not accepted by them on the grounds of the need to ensure that long term considerations of efficiency, safety and the ability to invest in new and quicker aircraft, were not improved will have been operated for a sufficient time by the autumn to make an assessment of those contributions.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The review in the autumn will be based on a full year's experience of the initial low fares experiment on the London-New York route, and a full summer's experience of low fares on the other routes to the USA. We shall then discuss with the United States Government whether any changes appear necessary.
