HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 c358
36. Mr. Perkins

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has yet made representations to Imperial Airways, Limited, that they should encourage British passengers desirous of flying to Scandinavia to fly by British airways in preference to German, French, Belgian, or Dutch air-lines; and, if so, with what result?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

I am in course of discussing this matter with Imperial Airways, and have no statement to make.

Mr. Perkins

Is the hon. and gallant Member aware that the present arrangement results in two companies being subsidised by the Government and competing with each other?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

I am aware of the position.
