HC Deb 14 July 1986 vol 101 c398W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has as to when the arrangements for issuing coupons compensating passengers who flew between the United Kingdom and the United States of America between 1 March 1982 and 31 March 1984 for the excessive fares charged to them by British Airways, TWA and Pan Am will become operative.

Mr. Moore

The case to which the right hon. Member refers was settled without any admission of liability by the defendants and without the court finding that any wrong had been done or that excessive fares and been charged. The administration of the settlement is a matter for the US courts; but I understand from British Airways that it is likely to take at least another two months to complete the procedure for the issue of the coupons.
