§ Mr. SpeedTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the bilateral liberalised air agreements he has made in 1987, and on the agreements he expects to make in the current year.
§ Mr. Peter Bottomley[holding answer 22 January 1988]: The major air services achievements in 1987 have been the adoption of the European Community liberalisation measures and the negotiation of a liberal air services agreement with Canada; further liberalisation was also agreed with the Scandinavian countries. Our objectives for 1988 include building on the European Community measures with our bilateral partners.
