HC Deb 28 October 1986 vol 103 c130W
Mr. Allen Adams

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he has given to the disincentive to the development of rural Scotland which results from high air fares from other parts of Europe; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ancram

In general, air fares in Europe are far too high and this is disadvantageous to industry, particularly in remote areas. That is why we are making strenuous efforts, both bilaterally and within the European Community, to allow a greater degree of airline competition.
