HC Deb 07 November 1932 vol 270 c18
41. Sir ROBERT HAMILTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether the result of the recent experiments in wireless telephony has proved satisfactory; and whether he is now in a position to commence installation of wireless telephonic communication with outlying islands?

Sir K. WOOD

The experiment in short-wave radio-telephony across the Bristol Channel, to which I understand the hon. Members to refer, is proceeding satisfactorily; but it has not yet advanced beyond the experimental stage, and I cannot at present say when a wider use of this method of communication will become practicable.
