§ 37. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOKasked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the adoption of a definite scale of fees in respect of transmitting licences for wireless telegraphy, so that the efforts of British research workers may be encouraged and that the valuable work of experimenters, particularly in the direction of short-wave transmission, may not be hampered?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONA definite scale of fees for experimental sending licences is already in operation, namely, an initial fee of 10s. and an annual fee of £l where the power authorised does not exceed 10 watts, and an initial fee of £1 and an annual fee of £2 where the power exceeds 10 watts. As I have already stated, no alteration in this scale is at present contemplated.
