HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 c901
27. Mr. Kennedy

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he will make inquiries as to the number of German air-liners purchased for South Africa airways this year, and whether tenders for the liners were invited from manufacturers in this country?

Mr. R. S. Hudson (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. and gallant Friend the Under-Secretary for Air to a somewhat similar question on 10th May. I have no additional information. The matter is one entirely within the province of the appropriate authorities in the Union of South Africa.
