The people of the Chatham Islands had no immediate cause for alarm that the Tasman Empire Airways service would be cut out. said the Minister of Island Territories (Mr T. C. Webb) in the House of Representatives during discussion on departmental estimates. Mr W. W. Freer (Opposition, Mount Albert) had said that people on the island were concerns! about the possibility of the service being curtailed, and he asked what alternative passenger and freight transport the Minister would institute if that service were eliminated. No decision had yet been made, replied Mr Webb, and the question of establishing an aerodrome on the island was still being considered.—(F.O.P.R,)
