HC Deb 17 July 1986 vol 101 c603W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether all recent air service contracts to the Falkland Islands have been awarded on the basis of open competitive tender.

Mr. Stanley

All use of chartered aircraft in June and July to supplement the RAF flights to and from the Falklands has been decided after competitive tenders have been sought from British airlines operating aircraft of the required capacity.
