§ Mr. SproatRegular air services to and from Poland were suspended following the introduction of martial law in Poland in December. In recent weeks the Polish airline LOT has been authorised by my Department to operate a number of ad hoc flights between Warsaw and London in the interests of maintaining some communications and facilitating travel. Following discussions between British Airways and LOT last week, agreement has been reached for the resumption of regular scheduled services on the route by both airlines on a reciprocal basis. The first British Airways flight to Warsaw will take place on Friday 19 February.
