HC Deb 24 June 1936 vol 313 c1744
13 and 14. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) whether he has received the report from the Governor on the direct radio service via North Post station with Trinidad; and, if so, can he now state whether no change will be made;

(2) whether, in connection with the direct radio service with Trinidad, he has consulted with and obtained the agreement of the commercial community of the island for any course that may be decided on?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I am still awaiting the Governor's report, and am not yet in a position to add to the replies given on 14th May and 11th June.

Mr. CHORLTON

Will my right hon. Friend see that the matter is expedited as much as possible?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I gather that my hon. Friend put this question some time ago, and that the reason why it has not been possible yet to reply to it is that local consultations are still going on. I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I receive the information.
