HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 cc817-8
48. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has yet any information as to when it will be possible to carry passengers regularly throughout the whole distance on the England-Australia air route?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)

Whilst I have not received official confirmation, I understand that it is the intention of His Majestys' Government in the Commonwealth of Australia to authorise the carriage of passengers on the Singapore-Brisbane section of the Air Route from about the middle of next month—thus completing the through service for passengers between England and Australia.
