§ 38. Mr. Lyonsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will indicate which, if any, of the internal air lines shown in the Appendix to the Maybury report have now ceased to operate?
§ Sir V. WarrenderAs a detailed statement is involved, I am circulating the reply in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. LyonsCan my hon. Friend ascertain from the right hon. Gentleman whether some steps will be taken to prevent this falling off in internal air traffic to the prejudice of the air ports concerned, and whether some subvention could be made to make internal air lines capable of carrying on economically?
