HC Deb 18 February 1907 vol 169 cc537-8
*MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether experiments have been made in India as to the possibility of wireless telegraphic communication across mountain ranges; and whether, if the answer be in the affirmative, he will communicate to the House such information as may, with due regard to the public interests, be published.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. MORLEY,) Montrose Burghs

I have seen a paragraph in a newspaper, stating that some such experiments have been successfully tried, but I have no other information on the subject. If I receive any Report from the Government of India, I will consider whether the information which it contains can be communicated to the House.
