HC Deb 06 June 1930 vol 239 cc2561-2W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Postmaster-General when, in view of the fact that it is now possible to establish telephonic communication between London and Java, he anticipates that a similar telephone service will be available between London and Singapore?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The question of establishing a wireless telephone service between London and Singapore is under consideration, but it will be some considerable time before I shall be in a position to make any definite statement on the subject.
