HC Deb 14 May 1924 vol 173 c1323
23. Sir THOMAS BRAMSDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if, without detriment to naval wireless signalling, it is possible to curtail wireless exercises and the sending of wireless messages between the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.; and will he confer a boon on thousands of wireless licence-holders in this country by taking steps to reduce to a minimum the messages sent during these hours in order that people listening-in to the British Broadcasting Company concerts may have as little interference as possible?

Mr. AMMON

No wireless exercises are laid down in Admiralty orders to be carried out between the hours mentioned. The attention of the commanders-in-chief concerned is being drawn to the desirability of reducing naval W/T signalling during these hours to a minimum, consistent with service requirements.
