HC Deb 14 May 1934 vol 289 cc1450-1
35. Mr. SIMMONDS

asked the Post master-General the number of night air mail services operating to and from this country; and the number of these services operated by British companies?

Sir K. WOOD

The only night air-mail service at present operating to and from this country is that between Croydon and Berlin maintained by the German Air Company.

Mr. SIMMONDS

Can my right hon. Friend tell the House whether he proposes any developments in this connection which will inaugurate a British service?

Sir K. WOOD

That is a question which my hon. Friend had better address to the Air Ministry.

36. Mr. SIMMONDS

asked the Post master-General whether seeing that all letter mail from Sweden is transported to this country by air without extra air mail fee, he will grant similar facilities in respect of mail sent from this country to Sweden?

Sir K. WOOD

My hon. Friend is, I think, under a misapprehension in supposing that all letter mail from Sweden is sent to this country by air without special fee. Ordinary correspondence is despatched by the Swedish Post Office partly by air and partly by train and steamship.
