HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 cc787-8W
67. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what discussions he has had with the Commissioner of the EEC and Governments of its member countries about evolving air traffic flow schemes and air traffic management schemes throughout Europe to eliminate the delays and frustrations arising from the over-scheduling of holiday flights, particularly to the Mediterranean, beyond the availability of equipment and personnel, with a view to cutting out the frustrating delays now being encountered by British holidaymakers.

Mr. Clinton Davis

I have had no such discussions with the Commission. Seven members of the Community are members of Eurocontrol; and all participate in the work of the European Air Navigation Planning Group.
