HC Deb 26 February 1936 vol 309 c439
32. Mr. HULBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what is the attitude of the Air Ministry on the subject of the grant of a subsidy for a trans-Atlantic airship service; and whether such a subsidy will receive sympathetic consideration despite the existing agreement with Imperial Airways?

Sir P. SASSOON

There is no present intention of granting a subsidy for the establishment of a trans-Atlantic airship service, though this is not precluded by the arrangements with Imperial Airways.

Mr. GEORGE GRIFFITHS

Will the Minister, before he gives any subsidy to these folk, see that the people who have to eat £25,000 worth of margarine get butter instead?
