§ 25. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that some 300 persons have been prosecuted for the use of unlicensed wireless apparatus since the passage of the -Wireless Telegraphy (Explanation) Act last autumn, he will consider, as an alternative penalty, the withholding of a licence in the case of any further attempts to evade the law?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI think it better to rely upon the penalties prescribed by the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1904, than to refuse to issue licences to persons who have attempted to evade the law.
