HC Deb 05 May 1936 vol 311 cc1521-2
44. Mr. LEWIS

asked the Postmaster-General upon what date representatives of British Continental Airways were first informed that no tender from them for the carriage of air mails to Scandinavia would be considered?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Walter Womersley)

The company was formally informed to this effect on 25th January of this year, but I understand that a prior intimation had been conveyed to them by the Air Ministry.
