HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 cc940-1W
Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the Polish Government in order to secure the reestablishment of direct flights between London and Warsaw; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We remain concerned at the suspension of air services between Britain and Poland and want to see the situation resolved as soon as possible.

There have been a number of contacts with the Polish Government at official and ministerial level in an attempt to resolve the current difficulties. I hope there will be an early resumption of services.

We are anxious to secure a settlement which will be in the interests both of the airlines involved and the travelling public, and be consistent with the principles which govern aviation in the European Union.

Forward to
