§ 33. Sir G. FOXasked the Postmaster-General what is the present number of the staff employed by him to assist owners of wireless sets in obtaining the best possible reception free from interference; what is the proportion of such number to the existing number of wireless licence holders; and how such proportion compares with that which obtained five years ago?
§ Sir K. WOODThe number of staff at present employed in assisting owners of wireless sets to obtain broadcast reception free from interference—expressed in terms of full-time staff—is 200. This represents a ratio of 1 man to about 35,000 licence-holders. Five years ago the ratio was 1 to about 85,000.
