HC Deb 01 March 1915 vol 70 c574
9. Mr. R. GWYNNE

asked the Postmaster-General what work has been carried out under the provisions of the contract with the Marconi Company; and what is the present position with regard to this matter between the Post Office and this company?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

A considerable amount of work has been carried out in connection with the English and Egyptian stations. The question of proceeding further with the construction of the wireless chain is, in view of the altered situation arising from the War, now under consideration.
