Oral Answers to Questions — Aviation. – in the House of Commons at on 5 March 1935.
Mr William Thorne
, West Ham Plaistow
asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has received a communication from the Doncaster Corporation Aerodrome Committee, with regard to an air service being started between Doncaster and the Continent; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
Sir Victor Warrender
, Grantham
No such communication from the aerodrome committee has been received in the Air Ministry, but it is understood that there have been some discussions between the corporation's aerodrome committee and the Dutch company which operates the Amsterdam-Hull-Liverpool service in the summer. No action by the Air Ministry appears to be called for, at any rate at present.
Brigadier-General John Nation
, Kingston upon Hull East
May I ask whether the Under-Secretary will take into consideration the fact that the line operating between Hull and Amsterdam will be in close competition with the one now proposed, and that if there are two lines in close conjunction it may result in detriment to both?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
