HC Deb 19 May 1927 vol 206 cc1386-7W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Postmaster-General the number of long-distance wireless telephone calls between this country and the United States; and whether, as far as his Department is concerned, the section of work is paying its way?

Viscount WOLMER

The total number of calls up to and including the 17th of this month was 893. The service is not yet self-supporting; receipts cover working costs, but not interest or depreciation.
