1 aa dircctei hy the Secretary of b4ate to forward a
letter from the Air Ministry, enclosing, with comments, a
copy of a draft agreement between the Government of the
tjhited Kingdom ana the Government of the French Republic,
concerning flights by military aircraft over British and French
territories, and would be grateful for your observations on
the proposals.
2. You will note that this draft has been transmitted to
the French Air Ministry, without prejudice, for their
acceptance in principle prior to formal negotiation between
the two Governments. The term^British Territory - will be
amended to read "territory owned, controlled or administered"
by British Authorities" in the agreement when finally drawn up*
3. The scheduled services by French Military aircraft are
shown in Appendix. B.
4* In Article IV a reference is made to official passengers.
Since it is presumed that these officials will be non-fare
paying passengers, it is suggested that a stipulation to this
effect should be included in this Article.
5* In regard to Article VI it would seem desirable, as
far as India is conwerned, to stipulate that a*H*^.(I) should
be the local authority responsible for receiving notification
of an giving prior pennies ion for flights, and not the Air
Minietiy.
6 . In Article Xlll it is provided that the agreement
should ne effective for a term of ten years. It is thought
that it may be impossible to commit a future Government of
India for such a long period of time 5 and that, as has been
proposed by the Government of India in negotiations for
-American air transit rights, the term should be limited in
>" the first instance to one of sic months or such a period as is
considered desirable*
I am. Sir,
Your obedient servant.
