§ 7. Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will give particulars of the International Commission's visit to Newfoundland in regard to the establishment of an air-port service between Great Britain and the American continent?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)The hon. Member is, I think, under a misapprehension. There is no question of an international commission, but representatives of His Majesty's Governments in the United Kingdom, Canada and Newfoundland have been conferring on certain general questions affecting the possible future organisation of air services to and from Newfoundland. I am not in a position to give any more detailed information at this stage, but, to prevent any misunderstanding, I had better, perhaps, emphasise that no concrete scheme for a trans-Atlantic service is at present under discussion.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the right hon. Baronet issue a statement as soon as he is in a position to do so?
§ Sir P. SASSOONYes, Sir.
