HC Deb 05 November 1947 vol 443 c201W
14. Sir G. Fox

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation which British Colonies are not supplied with a regular British air line service; and when is it anticipated Mauritius will have a scheduled British air service in addition to the present French air service.

Mr. Lindgren

British Colonies not at present served by regular British air line services are Brunei, Falkland Islands, Mauritius, St. Helena, Sarawak, Seychelles and the Western Pacific Islands. The provision of a British air service connecting Mauritius with the mainland is under consideration in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies, but I cannot at present state whether, or when, such a service will be instituted.
