United Kingdom has now reached conclusion that war being over time
is ripe to invite Eire to become member of Commonwealth Air
Transport Council. [1] This question was I understand discussed at
Montreal last December but it was then decided to take no action.

United Kingdom Government have asked me to confirm that it would
be in accordance with Commonwealth Government's wishes that Eire
should now be invited to become a member of Council. Glad
instructions. [2]
