HC Deb 01 June 1937 vol 324 c870W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters posted by air mail for India, and specifically marked "By Dutch Line," are sent by the British line notwithstanding the increase of time taken; whether he will either conform to the directions given on the letters or take steps to make it known that the air mails posted in Britain for India will be sent, irrespective of the sender's directions or loss of time, by Imperial Airways; and whether he recognises that failure to take either of these courses results in delays for the addressees made more inconvenient because they are unexpected?

Major Tryon

I am arranging for air letters and postcards for India intended for transmission by the Dutch Air Service to be forwarded by that route if specially superscribed "via Holland" by the sender and prepaid at the rate of 1s. 3d. a half-ounce for letters and 6d. for postcards.
