§ Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the opposition in Canada to the project for a trans-Atlantic air service with a base in Newfoundland, and of the resolution, of which he has received notice, passed by the joint meeting of the city council and executive council of the Board of Trade in Sydney, Nova Scotia, requesting the Governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island to oppose the plan, the Air Ministry are prepared to consider on their merits any alternative plans for this route?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe project has the concurrence of His Majesty's Government in Canada, who are co-operating in this matter with His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. I am not aware of the resolution to which the hon. Member refers, and I am unable to recommend any change in the plans which have been made by the Governments concerned for a service via Newfoundland.
