MR. EVELYN CECIL (Aston Manor)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether, in accordance with the opinion expressed by the Steamship Subsidies Committee, the establishment of a direct British line to East Africa has been favourably considered; and whether tenders will be shortly invited.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Worcestershire, E.)

The subject is under consideration, and I am not in a position to announce any decision.
