A Colonial Civil iiviation -Conferenco opened at Church House, Westminster,
on 14th April, and concluded its deliberations on the 23rd April. The
Conference, which was attended by representatives of the United Kingdom raid
many Colonial Governments was convened to discuss some particular questlore of
administration which needed to be settled at the present stage of the
development of Empire air communications, .s well as to consider the development
of air transport generally.
Subjects discussed included, inter alia.

services to and through the Colonial areas and the integration of
those services with the local and regional services.
(ii) Policy to be adopted for the regulation of charter and private

generally, the economics of airport administration.
The Conference recommended tho appointment of a Committee to consider
the legislative powers for the control of the operation in the Colonies of
both scheduled and non-scheduled air services and to dra.ft model regulations
on this subject for the guidance of Colonial Governments.
Colonial civil avia.tion service on the same general lines as other
unified Colonial services was recommended for the maintenance of the ground
organisation on the routes together ;.ith the establishment of an advisory
Boarc^This;;ould be concerned' particularly with the recruiting and training of
personnel to the unifor i high standards required for safety, regularity'and
economy of air services. It was also agreed to recommend that a Colonial
meteorological service should be organised on a regional basis having an
Advisory Board in London to give advice on the facilities which would be.
required in each regional area, and also on the recruiting and training of
staff. It was appreciated that in some areas the services would be organised
and controlled by the Meteorological Office.
Agreement was a.lso reached on certain principles which should be
followed in the shading between the United Kingdom and the Colonial
Governments of the cost of necessary ground facilities.for British Services.
