§ 31. Mr. REMERasked the Postmaster-General if letters and packages posted by air mail and taken by Imperial Airways to India are transported on any portion of their journey by train; and if he can state the reason for this?
§ Sir K. WOODThe Indian air mail is at present conveyed by rail between Paris and Brindisi, and on this point I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Members for Melton (Mr. Everard) and Wolver-hampton East (Mr. Mander) by the Undersecretary of State for Air on the 7th February.
§ Mr. REMERIs it the fact that the mails sent by the Dutch and French air mails arrive in India two days earlier than those sent by Imperial Airways?
§ Sir K. WOODThat is another matter; I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
