§ Mr. John H. Osbornasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will have discussions with the EEC, the European Civil Aviation Comission, and the International Civil Aviation Organisation to ensure that transit passengers are not subjeted to extra searches in addition to the search at the original point at departure and do not incur extras charges for security precautions.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo. All passengers and their hand baggage departing from United Kingdom airports will continue to be subject to such search as the Government consider necessary. After the passing of the Civil Aviation Bill now 371W before the House, airport authorities and airlines will be free to absorb the aviation security levy, or to pass it on to the user in whatever way they choose.
