§ 18. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REIDasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has been approached by the French Government with a view to considering the best means of improving, by collaboration, the economic, yield of the British and French air lines, as has already been arranged between France and Germany; and, if so, what progress the negotiations have made?
§ Sir P. SASSOONA proposal of the nature referred to was made by the French Government in connection with the recent negotiations in regard to Imperial Airways' services across France. The question was regarded, however, as being primarily a commercial one for discussion between the operating companies concerned, and in any case the particular negotiations out of which it arose are, I am glad to say, in course of settlement.
