I am informed by Aerlínte that their transatlantic service with Boeing 707 jet aircraft will commence about mid-December 1960. The service contemplated at least for the beginning will be the same as that being operated during the current year with Superconstellation aircraft.
Could the Minister indicate whether the House can anticipate similar high jinks on this occasion to those which took place on a former occasion in the Waldorf Astoria?
The Minister for Health could not answer that one.
