Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Postmaster-General whether it is the intention on each item during the current financial year, but taking the headings of the commitments as at 31st March, 1926, given in paragraph 3 of the last Annual Report on the Road Fund, to which the hon. Member refers, the following estimate can be given of the approximate rate at which those commitments are likely to be met up to 31st March, 1928:

of the Government to discuss the matter of broadcasting at the forthcoming Washington Conference; and, if not, whether, seeing that many complaints are received from listeners regarding the interference caused by spark transmitters, he will do his utmost to have the subject of broadcasting placed on the agenda in order to promote the necessary legislation to deal with this nuisance?

Viscount WOLMER

The Radiotelegraph Conference to be held at Washington will deal with certain aspects of broadcasting, and various proposals will be considered having for their object the reduction of interference between the broadcasting service and other wireless services.
