§ 27. Rear - Admiral Sir MURRAY SUETERasked the Postmaster-General what surcharge, if any, is to be placed upon mails carried by the new air service between Inverness, Kirkwall, and the Orkneys; if he will give consideration to the question of granting reduced air-mail rates, not only for internal air services but on Imperial air-mail routes at present being operated; and, if so, when can a decision on the subject be expected?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)As regards the first part of the question, no additional charge is being made to the public; so far as the second part is concerned, the air postage rates on the Imperial services are constantly under review, and are fixed as low as possible consistent with the avoidance of actual loss.
