HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 cc51-2W
84. Mr. Awbery

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will now consider the restoration of the air service between Cardiff, Bristol and Southampton, in view of the inconvenience which its suspension has caused to a large number of people.

Mr. Lindgren

As I informed my hon. Friend on 5th November last year, the Cardiff-Bristol-Southampton service was withdrawn because of the lack of public demand and the consequent loss at which it operated. There is nothing to indicate that the service would be more widely used if it were now resumed.
