§ 65. Mr. STURROCKasked the Postmaster-General if the Leafield wireless telegraph services to India have been closed down; and, if so, for what reason?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hartshorn)Prior to the 1st May, the Leafield wireless station was reserved for a short period daily for the transmission of urgent Press telegrams to India on behalf of certain newspapers and news agencies. This service, which occupied a time totally incommensurate with its value to the Post Office or the senders, has lately fallen into disuse and has accordingly been suspended.
