HC Deb 17 May 1938 vol 336 cc224-5
64. Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is proposed to run a British service to Budapest; and, if so, whether any subsidy will be paid and to which company?

Captain Balfour

A British service to Budapest is included in the programme of European services and will be undertaken as soon as practicable, but owing to lack of suitable British equipment it will not be possible for British Airways, who have been invited to submit proposals for this service as part of their general plan, to commence operation during this year.
