§ 39. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Postmaster-General on what date the new Empire broadcasting station will commence operations; in what Dominions and Colonies it is expected that the service can be effectively received; and what contribution, if any, these territories are making towards the cost?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)I am informed by the British Broadcasting, Corporation that the new Empire Broadcasting Station at Daventry will commence operations on the 19th December next, and that it will, it is hoped, serve all Dominions and Colonies. The precise capabilities of the Station, however, can only be determined by experiment.
