HC Deb 15 March 1920 vol 126 c1821W
Major BIRCHALL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether it is intended to have a direct air route from Leeds to Holland viâ Hull?

Major TRYON

The establishment of a direct air route from Leeds to Holland viâ Hull depends largely on the provision of suitable types of aircraft. At present it is not considered that such a commercial route should be organised for land aircraft for the reasons given in my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Ken-worthy, on the 11th of this month (OFFICIAL REPORT, Col. 1556). If, however, a demand arises for the establishment of such a route for sea or amphibious machines, no difficulty is anticipated in setting up the necessary customs' aerodromes for such traffic.
