§ 17. Mr. SIMMONDSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is satisfied with the results of his policy of regarding the inauguration of night air-mail services as primarily the responsibility of aircraft operating companies?
§ Sir P. SASSOONMy Noble Friend will, of course, welcome the time when there is a genuine commercial demand for night air-mail services. Pending the emergence of such a demand, he does not consider the expenditure of public money on the artificial support of night air-mail services would be justified.
§ Mr. SIMMONDSCan my right hon. Friend explain why, when these services are necessary to other countries, they are not considered to be necessary to us?
§ Sir P. SASSOONBecause conditions vary from country to country.
§ Mr. SIMMONDSI beg to give notice that I shall seek leave to raise this matter on the Adjournment at an early date.
