HC Deb 19 March 1934 vol 287 c854
31. Mr. REMER

asked 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. WOOD

The 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. REMER

Is 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. WOOD

That is another matter; I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
