HC Deb 13 March 1935 vol 299 c373
19. Mrs. TATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the number of passenger-miles flown by British domestic and foreign transport lines in the year 1934, and the number of passenger fatalities on those lines during that year?

Sir P. SASSOON

Over 29,000,000 passenger-miles were flown in 1934 on regular air transport services operated by United Kingdom undertakings at home and abroad. There were two fatal accidents, in which nine passengers lost their lives.

Captain HAROLD BALFOUR

Can my right hon. Friend say what proportion of that mileage was flown on subsidised and what proportion on unsubsidised lines?

Sir P. SASSOON

Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will give me notice of that question.
