asked the Postmaster-General the number of wireless calls between Great Britain and the United States of America for each of the last three months; and whether the working costs are covered by the receipts?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The figures are as follow: September 148, October 162, November 202. The present revenue approximately covers working costs, but not interest, depreciation and amortisation.

Colonel WOODCOCK

Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied with the progress which has been made during this period?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Yes, on the whole I am quite satisfied.
