§ 37. Sir R. Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are being taken to ensure the main- 1430 tenance and subsequent expansion of the air services in British Guiana.
§ Mr. HareThe British Guiana Government, who have recently acquired the ownership and control of British Guiana Airways, have appointed British West Indian Airways to act as their managing agents and advisers in the operation and development of air transport services in the Colony. Arrangements are being made for British West Indian Airways, after a year's experience in this capacity, to provide the Government with a report on the operation and future development of the air services in the Colony.
§ Sir R. RobinsonIs the Minister aware that at the present time the air services of British Guiana are very much undermanned? Will he urge upon the Government of the Colony the need for securing adequate flying personnel so that these services may be continued?
§ Mr. HareI certainly will bear in mind what the hon. Gentleman has said. I should like to repeat that, in a year's time, the various lessons which will have been brought forward in this report by the British West Indian Airways will be available for the study of the British Guiana Government.
