HC Deb 09 April 1923 vol 162 c865
32. Sir BURTON CHADWICK

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that he has undertaken to lay upon the Table of the House the licences to be issued to the wireless companies for the conduct of wireless services, he will also lay upon the Table the licences which have been issued to the various cable companies?

Major BARNSTON

Licences to land telegraph cables in this country are granted by the Board of Trade and the Post Office in conjunction; but those granted to the principal cable companies are now due for renewal. When the new licences have been issued, copies will, if desired, be laid upon the Table.
