HC Deb 10 February 1937 vol 320 cc391-2
33. Mr. Day

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what has been the final decision arrived at by the inter-departmental committee on international air communications on the question of the inauguration of a British air service across the South Atlantic ocean?

Sir P. Sassoon

My Noble Friend has under consideration recommendations submitted to him by the Committee a few days ago.

Mr. Day

Can the right hon. Gentleman say which company has been selected for this service?

Sir P. Sassoon

I cannot add to my answer.

Mr. Day

Is it proposed to publish the recommendations?

Sir P. Sassoon

I could not undertake that, in view of the fact that this is a standing committee which reports to the Minister.
