HC Deb 12 April 1938 vol 334 cc914-5
31. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what communi cations have passed between the British Government and the Government of Eire on the subject of the removal of the railway clearing-house ban on Irish Sea Airways, a line flying between Great Britain and Eire; and what are the political aspects of the question referred to in the Cadman Report on Civil Aviation which are preventing a satisfactory solution?

Mr. M. MacDonald

The question of arrangements to resolve the difficulties which have arisen is still under discussion, and it is hoped that a satisfactory solution will be found at an early date.

Mr. Mander

Can we have some information as to what these political differences are? No information at all has been supplied up to the present.

Mr. MacDonald

I am not prepared to make a statement at the moment, because the matter is still under discussion.
