§ Mr. O'SHEEasked the Postmaster-General whether the Post Office, by accepting messages for transmission by the Marconi system, guarantees that such cables are actually transmitted by that system and not by ordinary cable routes?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIt is the practice of the Post Office to hand over telegrams to the particular company which the sender may indicate. In this respect the Marconi Company is treated in the same manner as any cable company, and I have no reason to think that the Marconi Company, any more than a cable company, does not forward by its own system the telegrams handed over to it.
§ Major ARCHER - SHEEasked the Postmaster-General (1) what is the minimum speed per minute stipulated for in the contract made with the Marconi Company for the Imperial wireless scheme; and (2) what is the revised estimated cost of each of the six wireless stations to be erected by agreement by the Marconi Company?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe contract with the company will be submitted to the House, and its terms will furnish the information required by the hon. Member.
