HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c4W
33. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how the productivity and manning levels of British Airways compare with their competitors.

Mr. Eyre

Actual comparisons differ depending on what precisely is being measured but, in general, British Airways' performance in terms of manning levels and productivity compares unfavourably with that of a number of their international competitors.
