§ 29. Mr. John H. Osbornasked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he is now taking to bring together the Civil Aviation Authority and similar bodies in the EEC and throughout Europe urgently to discuss with the International Air Transport Association, the European Civil Aviation Conference and airlines proper pre-flight planning to cover scheduled as well as charter flights to avoid excess air traffic in the Mediterranean region in the short term, and ensure adequate equipment and personnel for proper air traffic control in the long term.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo such steps are necessary. The National Air Traffic Services already participate in Eurocontrol; and the United Kingdom also takes part in the European Air Navigation Planning
