§ Mr. Hollingworthasked the Postmaster-General what consultations he has had with Commonwealth Governments on the subject of communication by earth satellites; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevinsArrangements have existed for many years to ensure close co-operation between Commonwealth countries in matters relating to longdistance communications. I am glad to say that Commonwealth Governments have welcomed a proposal to arrange a special conference to discuss the problems associated with the use of satellites and their potentialities for Commonwealth communications. Representatives of Commonwealth Administrations will be meeting in London at the end of this month to prepare a report for consideration by Governments.
