HC Deb 12 March 1929 vol 226 cc976-7
27. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has any statistics that will show the number of portable wireless receiving sets in use in Great Britain; and will he give particulars?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

No, Sir. No such statistics are available.

Mr. DAY

Is there any way in which the Post Office can tell whether licences have been taken cut for these sets?

Viscount WOLMER

Yes, Sir; we have a number of ways, but I am not prepared to tell the hon. Gentleman.

Mr. DAY

Can the Noble Lord tell me whether any prosecutions of portable wireless set holders have taken place for not having a licence?

Viscount WOLMER

Oh, yes, Sir.
