69. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now able to report that direct radio service will be maintained in the future with Trinidad, the North Post station and the wireless station in Port-of-Spain being retained, and that the change from the present arrangements as proposed will not now be proceeded with?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

I am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply which was given to my hon. Friend on 14th May, and I will communicate with him as soon as the Governor's despatch is received and a decision has been reached.

72. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is taking any steps for an air survey of the West Indian islands with a view to assist the ultimate setting up of an air service between those islands?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

His Majesty's Government are considering the possibility of the establishment of a British air service in the West Indies, but I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the subject.
