§ 38. Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General with what success the tests have been made for wireless telephone calls between Germany and America, via London, and if an agreement between the British and German postal authorities for wireless telephone conversations has been entered into; and whether experimental tests have taken place, and with what success, for telephone conversations by Transatlantic radio telephony between Lisbon and London, via Madrid and Paris, and Vienna and London, via Berlin?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL: (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)No radiotelephone tests have been made between Germany and America via this country, nor has any relative agreement been entered into. I am afraid I do not clearly follow the second part of the question. The Transatlantic radiotelephone service has no bearing on the prospects of telephone communication between this country and Lisbon or Vienna.
