§ 25. Mr. Dayasked the Postmaster-General whether his inquiries are now complete with reference to the daily broadcasts that are taking place from the Alderney radio station, Channel Isles; will he give particulars of the full permission granted to this radio station; and whether the same includes a permit to broadcast music and gramophone records?
§ Major TryonI must refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question on 29th November in which I stated that no permission has been granted by me for a broadcasting station to operate in the island of Alderney. My inquiries in me matter are not yet complete.
§ Mr. DayAs the Wireless and Telegraphs Act, 1904, prohibits anybody 798 erecting or working a wireless station, will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman say how this station could be installed without his licence?
§ Major TryonI am advised that the Wireless and Telegraphs Act is applicable to Alderney. No station can be installed or worked except under licence from the Postmaster-General.
§ Mr. DayWhat is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman doing in the matter seeing that this wireless station is being worked without his permission?
§ Major TryonWe are inquiring into what they are doing.
