§ MR. JOHN DEWAR (Inverness)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, 316 as representing the Postmaster General, if he will consider the expediency of adopting the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy as a means of communication between the Outer Hebrides and the western mainland of Scotland?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Worcestershire, E.)For the present the existing telegraph cable to Stornoway affords adequate means of telegraphic communication with the Outer Hebrides, and it does not seem necessary therefore to take into consideration the question of the adoption of the Marconi system for the purpose.
