§ Mr. A. M. SAMUELasked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that he administers regulations governing the granting of licences to those conducting wireless telegraphic business in this country, he will refrain from entering into commercial competition with those to whom he grants licences?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHNo, Sir. Licences granted under the Wireless Telegraph Acts are not exclusive, and I cannot give any pledge such as the hon. Member suggests.
§ Mr. MALONEasked the Postmaster-General whether he can make any statement with regard to the future policy of the Government relating to radio-telephony?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHI regret that, at the moment, I am not in a position to add anything to the answer given on this matter by the Prime Minister on 3rd February.
