HC Deb 24 July 1957 vol 574 c46W
14. Mr. Beswick

asked the Postmaster-General what proportion of the United Kingdom air mails to Nairobi, Salisbury, and Accra are now carried by British Overseas Airways Corporation; and what will be the proportion carried by the Corporation when the new Government policy in relation to Colonial Coach Services comes into operation.

Mr. Marples

All United Kingdom mail to these destinations is at present carried by B.O.A.C. or by one of the companies with which it has a pooling arrangement. I am not able to forecast to what extent Colonial Coach services will carry mails in future, because no details are yet known about the services they will provide under the new policy.
