HC Deb 17 March 1926 vol 193 cc420-1
54. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether any negotiations have taken place between this country and France in respect of a service of British seaplanes between English and French ports; and what is the situation to-day?

Sir P. SASSOON

No, Sir; there has been no development since my reply of 18th February last.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Will the hon. Member try to create a service between Southampton and the French ports, as it would be a very great convenience.

Sir P. SASSOON

The Imperial Airways Company, who would deal with this question, are confining themselves at present to the line between Southampton and the Channel Islands.
