HC Deb 30 March 1926 vol 193 cc1865-6W
Colonel DAY

asked the Postmaster General if he is aware that amateur wireless experimenters were able to listen to the official two-way telephony tests recently carried out between the Rugby high-power post office station and America; and will he state what steps are being taken by his Department to safeguard the secrecy of this trans-Atlantic conversation?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I am aware of the fact to which the hon. Member draws attention. The steps to be taken to secure secrecy for trans-Atlantic telephone conversations are at present being investigated.
