§ Mr. PILCHERasked the Postmaster-General the gross and net revenue de- 1742W rived during the first year of operation from the beam wireless services to Canada, India, South Africa, and Australia, respectively?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe imperial beam wireless services are organised in my Department as a single business, and, as many of the items of expenditure are common to two or more services, it is hardly possible to give separate statistics for each service. For the year beginning 6th September, 1927, which was the first year during which all four services were in operation, the total gross revenue was approximately £440,000, and the net revenue (before charging depreciation and interest on capital) was approximately £166,000.
