HC Deb 16 July 1924 vol 176 c373
83. Major MOULTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that the new licence to amateur wireless transmitters contains a condition that they shall not communicate with persons on the Continent or in the Irish Free State, and that such condition constitutes a great handicap on the work these amateurs are doing, he will consider the removal of such condition?

Mr. F. HALL (for Mr. HARTSHORN)

The condition in question is merely an embodiment in the new licence form of the existing rule. It is the practice, however, to grant permission for bona fide experiments with places abroad, when special application is made. Many such permits have been issued, and no alteration in this practice is contemplated.
