HC Deb 12 July 1923 vol 166 cc1627-8W
Mr. MOREING

asked the Postmaster-General what is the sum to be received by his Department in this financial year from the Foreign Office in payment for the news bulletin despatched from the Leafield wireless station for the latter Department; and whether this sum covers the cost to the Post Office of this service?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

It is not possible to state what sum will be received in the present financial year from the Foreign Office in respect of the news bulletin despatched from the Leafield station on behalf of that Department, but the total charge made during the year ended the 30th ultimo was £9,600. This sum covers the cost to the Post Office of the services rendered.
