asked the Secretary of State for Air whether any progress has been made in establishing a British South Atlantic air mail service?

Captain Balfour:

It is hoped that it will be possible to carry out experimental flights across the South Atlantic before the end of the present year. The organisation required for the service is now being discussed with Imperial Airways and British Airways, with a view to the provision of the necessary facilities both in West Africa and on the east coast of South America being put in hand at an early date.
