§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Postmaster-General whether he has now reached a decision concerning the request from the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce for an improved letter mail service between London and Aberdeen.
§ Mr. Hendryasked the Postmaster-General whether he has now reached a decision concerning the request from the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce for an improved letter mail service between London and Aberdeen.
§ Mr. BevinsYes. I am sorry that the high cost rules out extension of the London-Scottish night air mail services on the lines the Chamber of Commerce suggested. But when the new Forth Road Bridge is open later this year I shall improve the postal service between London and Aberdeen by running special road services from Aberdeen to connect with the London-Edinburgh night air services. I am writing in greater detail to hon. Members who have raised the matter and I am arranging for the position to be explained to the Chamber of Commerce.
