§ EARL JOWITTMy Lords, I beg to ask Her Majesty's Government a Question of which I have given them private notice.
§ [The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposed legislation validating past charges for licences issued under the Wireless Telegraphy Acts, 1904–1926 will prevent further actions against the Post Office for repayment of charges paid by licensees under those Acts.]
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (EARL DE LA WARR)My Lords, the answer to the noble and learned Earl's Question is definitely "Yes." Any new action started after the date of my announcement on November 11 will be invalidated.
