§ Mr. Stephen Hastingsasked the President of the Board of Trade what assistance he is giving to independent airlines seeking to obtain traffic rights on the North Atlantic.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuNo independent airline at present holds an air service licence for a scheduled service across the North Atlantic. Various applications for such licences are now before the A.T.L.B. Several independent airlines who hold licences permitting nonscheduled services across the North Atlantic have been assisted in seeking similar permissions from the authorities of other countries concerned.
