§ 67. Captain AUSTIN HUDSONasked the Postmaster-General the number of wireless receiving licences issued at the 2638 last convenient date; and whether there are any statistics available showing the number of these sets which are of the portable pattern?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe number of wireless receiving licences in force on the 31st March, 1930, was approximately 3,093,000. There are no statistics available showing how many licensees use portable receiving sets.
§ Captain HUDSONHas there been any change of practice by which fixed and portable sets can be held by one person on the same licence?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHIn one household a person may have any number of sets on one licence, including more than one portable. The change of practice is that, if he wishes to leave and to take a portable set with him, he is allowed to take one portable set away with him, on the same licence.
