§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Trade, in view of the hardship and inconvenience caused to business and holiday travellers in consequence of industrial action and flight delays at airports, if he will take steps to discuss with the authorities concerned the setting up of a scheme for compensation to be provided to travellers paid for by the bodies or organisations responsible for the delays.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo. A necessary and difficult feature of such a scheme would be the allocation of responsibility. Alternatively, the cost of compensation would be passed on to air travellers as part of the cost of providing air transport or air traffic control.
