New priority system

VICTORIA (UPC) -
Government members and
civil servants who want to fly
on government aircraft will
have to stand in line for seats
in a new system of priority
allocation, they have been
told by transport minister
Alex Fraser.

At the head of the queue is
Premier Bill Bennett, but
even he takes second place
to -the needs of the
provincial ambulance and
emergency services and civil
defense requirements, the
minister said Wednesday.

The new regulations were
based on recommendations
made by--a recent royal
commission on
reform, headed by Judge J.S.

electoral '

Gov't officials _

Eckart, and goes into im-
mediate effect, -he said.

With emergency services
and civil defense needs
taking top priority, and
Bennett heading-. the
government personnel list,
deputy ministers and civil
servants in descending rdnk
follow in order of seniority.

Premier Bennett's wife,

Audrey, gets top seating
priority, another com-
mission recommendation,

because it was considered
important for the premier’s
wife to accompany him on as
many official functions as
possible, Fraser said. -

Wives of cabinet ministers
get equal priority for seats
for the same reason, he said.
