§ Mr. Liddallasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, as a result of the increased civil aviation grant, he will hasten the plans for British air services across the Tasman Sea and across the Pacific, particularly in view of the importance of establishing such services before similar difficulties to those faced by the shipping companies arise for air services?
§ Sir K. WoodAs I informed my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Leicester East (Mr. Lyons) on 10th May, the establishment of air services across the Tasman Sea and Pacific is being considered by the Governments concerned. My right hon. Friend hopes to be in a position to confer with representatives of those Governments at an early date.
