HC Deb 05 June 1934 vol 290 c750
58. Mr. RANKIN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the satisfactory operation of the East African and Palestine air-mail service for the past three and five years, respectively, and the rapid development of internal air communications in those territories, he will take steps to urge that the advantage of these air-mail services may be enjoyed by all classes of the community and not confined to that small section which can afford the present high air-mail surcharge rates?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

I am afraid that I am not in a position to add anything to the latter part of the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Hertford (Sir M. Sueter), of which I am sending him a copy.
