§ 41. Mr. R. Morganasked the Postmaster-General whether, in connection 775 with the new broadcast relay service to be operated by the Post Office, it will be possible for existing wireless receiving sets to be used for the reception of the programmes by connection to the telephone circuits, or whether additional apparatus will be required by subscribers?

§ Sir W. WomersleyYes, there will be a charge, but it will include maintenance, and also the provision of the apparatus.
§ Mr. R. C. MorrisonCan the Assistant Postmaster-General say when it will be possible to announce the details of this new service?
