HC Deb 29 January 1987 vol 109 cc307-8W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he has taken to curb the activities of foreign airlines which increase frequencies of flights to the United Kingdom in contravention of air service agreements.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Our normal practice is to include in the operating permit issued to a foreign airline any specific limitations on the frequency or capacity of its services for which provision is made in the relevant bilateral arrangements with the other country concerned.
