HC Deb 04 February 1930 vol 234 c1700W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he intends to develop wireless telephony by means of plant supplied by a British company or by means of plant supplied by an American company?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The practice of the Post Office in the past has been to purchase apparatus of this character on competitive tenders submitted by the only two firms in this country who are able to supply it. I have not had occasion to place an order since I assumed office but, as at present advised, I see no reason to depart from the practice of my predecessors.
