HC Deb 19 March 1931 vol 249 c2141
53. Mr. MANDER

asked the Postmaster-General the arrangements under which the Wireless Press, Limited, is allowed to deliver over the wireless messages of a partisan and propaganda nature to ships at sea?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)

For many years past, paid news messages have been transmitted by wireless telegraphy from Rugby on behalf of the Wireless Press, Limited, for reception on board ships, the owners of which have subscribed to this agency's news service. The Post Office merely transmits the messages, and is not responsible for their contents.
