HC Deb 31 May 1938 vol 336 c1846W
Mr. T. Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the substantial increase that will take place in the volume of traffic on British Empire air routes following the increased subsidy which is to be given, arrangements can now be made to accelerate the completion of adequate Empire air route bases in this country?

Captain Balfour:

Yes, Sir. Every effort is being made to provide adequate air bases in the country for Empire air routes, and in that connection account is being taken of the forthcomong increases in British air line traffic both on the Empire and other routes.
