§ 44. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Secretary of State for Air whether the difficulties in respect of ports of call in Greece for the projected air mail to India have been overcome; and, if not, whether the negotiations are likely to be concluded in time to permit the service to be inaugurated on 31st March?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Samuel Hoare)While I am not yet in a position to make any detailed statement in the matter, I may say that the few minor points outstanding between the Italian Government and His Majesty's Government have been satisfactorily settled as a result of friendly negotiations, and I have every hope that the service will be duly inaugurated at the end of this month over the route originally contemplated.
