§ 34. Mr. WHITEasked the Postmaster-General whether it is his intention to use the 24-hour clock in connection with the general work of the Post Office, in view of the experience of the British Broadcasting Corporation since their adoption of this system?
§ Sir K. WOODI understand that the experiment is still proceeding, and I have not therefore come to any decision on the matter.
§ Mr. WHITEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the experiment has brought to light the fact that a great number of people are opposed to it?
§ Sir K. WOODI am aware that some differences have been expressed.
§ Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEIs it not a grave abuse of the British Broad- 350 casting Corporation's privileges to carry on this experiment?
§ Sir K. WOODI do not regard it otherwise than as an experiment.
§ Major JESSONIs it not rather ridiculous to find the British Broadcasting Corporation announcer saying that something will happen at 19 o'clock when your own timepiece is chiming seven?
