HC Deb 21 March 1929 vol 226 cc1855-6
60. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is in a position to state when wireless telephonic communication will be available between London and Buenos Aires?

Viscount WOLMER

Enginering tests of the quality of speech transmission between London and Buenos Aires have been carried out, and negotiations are proceeding as to the terms on which a service might be opened. I am not at present in a position to name a date.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Is it the fact that communication with the Continent already exists?

Viscount WOLMER

Yes, Sir, but only to a limited extent.
