HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 c335W
37. Dr. Segal

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the present air charter service to Mauritius is to be terminated after one year; and on what conditions it is likely to be renewed.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Skyways Limited have applied to the East African High Commission for a licence for a period of two years to operate an air service between Nairobi and Mauritius and are at present operating a once-weekly service pending consideration of this application. I understand that it will be heard on 25th February, and until a decision is taken on it it is not possible to say whether or on what conditions the licence will be granted.
