§ 20. Mr. DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that the number of outgoing transatlantic telephone calls between Great Britain and Canada for the three months ended to the 19th of April totalled only 68, he can state that the transatlantic telephone service between these two countries is self-supporting?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)Yes, Sir; the Canadian and American services are worked over the same radio channel.
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONOf course, I can answer only for our end; I cannot say what the corresponding rates are at the American end. So far as this end is concerned, the services are self-supporting.
