HC Deb 11 April 1932 vol 264 cc544-5
41. Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Postmaster-General if the mail contract for the service of mails to the island of Alderney is an old one; what is the amount of the subsidy paid; and if the service can be improved in the near future?

Sir K. WOOD

The current contract for the Alderney service commenced on 1st October, 1931. The annual payment, which covers also the service to Sark, is £1,300. The service is the best that I think could be arranged in all the circumstances.
