HC Deb 05 May 1913 vol 52 c1701W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received the Report from the Technical Sub-Committee set up to deal with wireless telegraphy; is the Report favourable in every respect to the Marconi system; and, if so, will he consider the desirability of instructing the Marconi Company to proceed forthwith to carry out their contract?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Report has been received and published. The contract is not valid without the sanction of the House of Commons, and as the hon. Member will be aware, the House referred it in October last to a Select Committee which has not yet reported.
