HC Deb 16 February 1927 vol 202 cc931-2
55. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Postmaster-General how many wireless organisations are distributing wireless news from this country, either for payment or gratuitously; and whether he will give the names in each case and the conditions under which each operate?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson) rose

HON. MEMBERS

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I gave my hon. Friend this information in reply to a question by him on 23rd November: last, and I am sending him a copy of that answer. There has been no change since then, and the only two distributors are the Foreign Office and the Wireless Press, Limited.

Mr. THURTLE

In the event of any of these organisations distributing in-Correct news, what penalty does the right hon. Gentleman inflict?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the Question.
