§ 5. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation when it is proposed to introduce the Lisbon-Azores-Bermuda route of British South American Airways Corporation.
§ Mr. LindgrenThe resumption of this service will be reviewed as soon as the aircraft position permits.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyThat is another unsatisfactory reply. Does the Parliamentary Secretary realise that this route could be a great dollar earner? Will he give the matter his most urgent consideration with a view to getting something on the route?
§ Mr. LindgrenYes, Sir; but the only satisfactory aircraft is the Stratocruiser, which costs dollars to buy. The Constellation would only operate on the route with a very reduced payload compared with the North Atlantic operation.
