HC Deb 23 December 1929 vol 233 cc1871-2
2. Major GRAHAM POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India if he is now in a position to make a statement as to when it is hoped that the extension of the air mail from Karachi to Delhi and from Delhi to Calcutta will be in operation?

Mr. BENN

The- Karachi-Delhi extension will be inaugurated in connection with the air mail due to arrive at Karachi from London on 28th December. As regards the Delhi-Calcutta extension I cannot at present add anything to the reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend on the 9th December.

Earl WINTERTON

Who is to operate this route? Will it be Imperial Airways or another company?

Mr. BENN

I would rather have a separate question on that point.
