§ 33. Mr. CARYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether his attention has been called to the agreement for the operation of a Japanese air service between Japan and North China; and whether the Chinese authorities are prepared to grant a similar concession to a British undertaking for an air service between Hong Kong and North China?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI understand that the preliminary steps have been taken for the conclusion of a Sino-Japanese agreement for an air service between Japan and China but that no such agreement is yet in force. The policy of the Chinese Government has hitherto been to exclude foreign air services; if and when it is changed, all possible steps will be taken to obtain facilities for British air services in China, and meanwhile the whole position in this respect is being carefully watched.
