§ Viscount WOLMERasked 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-SMITHThe 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.
