§ Squadron-Leader Hulbertasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will make a statement in regard to the present schedules of transatlantic air services operated by American Air Lines and B.O.A.C.
§ Mr. StracheySo far as scheduled services are concerned, during the winter months the British Ovorseas Airways Corporation operate a once weekly flying-boat air service in each direction between Poole and Baltimore. Except for Pan American Airways, which under a prewar diplomatic exchange of notes is permitted to operate a reciprocal air service twice weekly to and from the United Kingdom, American airlines have not so far been formally authorised to fly scheduled air services to this country.
