HC Deb 15 March 1927 vol 203 c1851
63. Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received a request from the German Ministry of Posts asking his Department to act as an intermediary between Continental telephones and the telephone system of the United States; and, if so, what is the attitude of the Department towards the matter?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Yes; but I do not think the time is yet ripe for the suggested extension of the Trans-Atlantic telephone service.
