Transatlantic Air Services (Hansard, 2 July 2002)

HC Deb 02 July 2002 vol 388 c202W 202W

§ 24. Mr. Ben Chapman
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on transatlantic air services. [63738]

§ Mr. Spellar
The UK Government is keen to liberalise the UK-US Air Services Agreement as we would like consumers to benefit from increased competition and airlines to benefit from improved access to the world's largest market. But that competition has to be on fair terms. We are currently reviewing a range of options that are open to us.
