HL Deb 27 October 1980 vol 414 cc194-5WA
Baroness TRUMPINGTON

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in the absence of the guidance to the Civil Aviation Authority given in Cmnd. 6400, the Channel Islands' particular interests in air transport licensing decisions affecting the islands will continue to be taken into account.

Lord TREFGARNE

The Government's policy towards the Channel Islands in the field of air transport licensing will be maintained. The Government fully recognise the Channel Islands' special needs in relation to air transport licensing matters and are confident that the Civil Aviation Authority will continue to have regard to the particular interests of the islands when regulating air services to or among them.
