§ 49. Mr. OTHO NICHOLSONasked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the bearing which the Hardman Lever Report is bound to have on the question now being considered by the Imperial Wireless and Cables Conference, he will arrange that a copy of that Report shall be submitted to the Conference before they decide on their recommendations?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)I have been asked to answer these questions. My hon. Friends are under some misapprehension. The Hardman Lever Committee's attention was directed solely to the Inland Telegraph Service. Their Report and recommendations deal with that alone and have no relation to the problems now engaging the attention of the Imperial Wireless and Cable Conference.
§ Sir R. LYNNIs it not a fact that the two are so related that they cannot be separated?
§ Colonel WOODCOCKCan my right hon. Friend tell me the date on which this Committee reported?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONJust about the beginning of the Session.
