§ 34. Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether an international agreement has yet been reached as to the systems and wave lengths to be employed in the use of radio beasons; and how many of these installations are now equipped and available for use in Great Britain?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe Telecommunications Convention of 1932 embodied world agreement in respect of certain wave lengths. There exist in addition later agreements between various countries, the terms of which will come under review at the next Telecommunications Convention which is due to meet in 1938. The present number of radio beacon installations in this country of all types, including five under trial, is 10.
§ Sir P. SASSOONPerhaps the hon. Gentleman will be good enough to put that question down.
§ Captain HAROLD BALFOURIs my right hon. Friend aware that certain internal air lines have been unable to use wireless owing to the statement of the Air Ministry that there are not wave lengths available; and can he give the House the assurance that there are the wave lengths necessary for further development
§ Sir P. SASSOONPerhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put that question down.
