HC Deb 03 April 1928 vol 215 c1785
34. Sir R. THOMAS

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that messages sent by wireless telephone between Western Canada and Great Britain are at present relayed through the United States, he can state when it is intended to establish an all-Canada route?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The use of the "Beam" system for telephonic transmission is still in the experimental stage, and I cannot, therefore, say when a direct service may be practicable.
