HC Deb 24 June 1936 vol 313 c1776W
Mr. ROSTRON DUCKWORTH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what are the conditions on which Australia has agreed to accept the Government's plan for a bi-weekly service of flying boats on the Singapore-Darwen section of the Australian air route; and whether unified control over this whole route is now assured?

Sir P. SASSOON

No decision has yet been taken by the Commonwealth Government in regard to participation in the Empire Air Transport Scheme. Negotiations are actively proceeding, but I am at present unable to make any further statement in the matter.
