HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 cc1940-1
16. Mr. Bowles

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will place in the Vote Office copies of the discussions and decisions of the Canberra Conference, touching the future of civil aviation.

Captain Balfour

The text of the Agreement reached at Canberra in January this year between His Majesty's Government in the Commonwealth of Australia and His Majesty's Government in New Zealand has been published as a White Paper (Cmd. 6513). The decisions dealing with civil aviation are contained in paragraphs 17–23.

Mr. Bowles

My Question asked for an account, not only of the decisions but of the discussions which might be useful for the delegates at the Chicago Conference at the present time.

Captain Balfour

If the hon. Member asks for the publication of the discussions, that is primarily a matter for the Dominion Government concerned and not for us.

Mr. Bowles

They might teach us something.
