HC Deb 14 November 1929 vol 231 c2245W
Mr. REMER

asked the Postmaster-General if he has any information in his Department showing that the reason for the comparative failure to use the Indian air mail service is the absence of a British air mail stamp; and if he will take steps to see that such a stamp is provided?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

During the seven months of operation the correspondence conveyed to and from this country by the Indian air mail has increased steadily from 800 to about 1,500 lbs. a week. I do not consider this result unsatisfactory. The blue air mail labels issued free of charge are more suitable than special postage stamps for the purpose of distinguishing air mail letters.
