§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that when the British Ambassador to Germany flew to Berlin, on or about 31st August, he travelled by a Dutch air-liner; and whether there is any British passenger air service to Berlin?
Captain BalfourYes, Sir. The British Ambassador to Germany flew to Berlin from Croydon on 30th August in a Dutch air liner. The only British air service to Berlin at present is the night mail service of British Airways, but a passenger service is one of the services planned for as part of the extension of European routes.
