HC Deb 24 March 1927 vol 204 c607W
Sir J. NALL

asked the Postmaster-General why the amateur transmitter's licence issued to 2 H.D. contains conditions different to those imposed upon other amateur transmitters' licences; whether he is aware that this is the experimental station of the oldest radio society in Great Britain; and why he is discouraging this bonâ fide amateur experimental work?

Viscount WOLMER

The Postmaster-General's attention was called to the fact that this experimental wireless station was being used for the broadcasting of concerts contrary to the conditions of the licence. The society were asked to refrain, but as they did not do so their licence was withdrawn and a fresh licence issued containing revised conditions. The new licence affords ample facilities forbond fide experimental work, but prevents the use of the station for the transmission of concerts.
