§ Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he will give particulars of the experiences gained in the working of the Indian air-mail route, Karachi-Delhi-Calcutta section; and what other extensions of this service are being considered?
§ Mr. BUTLERThe Karachi-Delhi-Calcutta section of the Eastern Air Mail route has been in successful operation since July, 1933, first as a weekly service and latterly twice a week. The extension to Rangoon has been in operation since October, 1933, and that to Singapore since December, 1933. As regards future arrangements on the Eastern Route, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Moss Side (Mr. W. R. Duckworth) on the 18th March last by my hon. Friend the Assistant Postmaster-General.
