HC Deb 11 November 1926 vol 199 cc1257-8
65. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in accordance with the agreement with Imperial Airways, Limited, signed in November, 1925, the fortnightly aeroplane service between Egypt and India will actually be in operation by the 1st January, 1927?

Sir P. SASSOON

Unless some unforeseen difficulty arises, the service should commence operation at the beginning of January, 1927. For further information, I would refer my hon. Friend to the announcement on this subject made at the annual general meeting of Imperial Airways, Limited, and to their recently issued time-table, of which I am sending him a copy.
