THE report made by the G.P.O. 1 committee into the possible use of ata.services for carrying mails .between places in Great Britain and Northern Ireland is understood to be in the hands of the . committee (under Sir Henry Maybury's chairmanship), which is inquiring into the co-ordination of air, road and rail services and ways in which the Government and local municipalities could help internal air trans
port. The Air Ministry survey of internal air lines will also be available In this committee.
The night mail service is an ingeniously interlocked system of road and rail collection and deliveries, and among its most interesting features are The travelling post offices.
The Post Office committee's report is understood to recommend the use of night air lines to key into the present system, rather than to replace it. A comparatively mOdest scheme would involve sending about 12 tons of mail nightly by air.
