§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General whether, with the view of enabling relatives and friends to communicate by wireless telephony with one another across the Atlantic at a rate more within the means of the average citizen, he will give sympathetic consideration to the suggestion that such reduction should be made on Sundays for this purpose; and whether, if a favourable opportunity occurs, he will take this matter up with those concerned in the United States and Canada?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONIn view of the substantial reduction which has just been made in the charge for transatlantic calls and of the extension 983W of the service to the Continent, I do not feel that at present a further reduction on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend is opportune. I will, however, certainly bear the matter in mind.
