39. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Postmaster-General what has been the daily average income from, and the daily average cost of, maintaining the service of the Rugby telegraph and telephone transmitter since 1st January, 1928?

Sir W. MITCHELL - THOMSON

During the period from 1st January to 30th April last (which is the latest period for which complete statistics are available), the average daily all-in cost of the Rugby station, including the receiving stations worked in conjunction with it, was £339 and the average daily revenue was £276. It is anticipated that the figures for April and May will show a balance of revenue over cost.
