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.

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.
