§ 5. Sir T. BENNETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for India if two offers, one by a British and the other by an Indian firm, have been received to construct and work a direct wireless service 1136 between India and Great Britain under licence and in accordance with Government requirements as outlined by the British Post Office authorities; and whether a decision on these offers will be arrived at without undue delay?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. The precise form in which wireless communication between India and this country is to be established is still under consideration by the Government, and until that has been settled no decision in regard to the offers referred to by my hon. Friend can be arrived at.
