§ 20. Mr. O. LEWISasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what steps he is taking for the establishment of a regular air-mail service between England and Australia?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)A scheme for the establishment of a regular airmail service to Australia is still under consideration by the Governments concerned. My Noble Friend is most anxious to see this scheme carried into effect as early as possible, but, since it involves payment of a subsidy, I fear that the financial situation is likely to retard its progress.
