HC Deb 23 April 1934 vol 288 c1386W
Major OWEN

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the impossibility of maintaining any communication between the island of Bardsey and the mainland for extended periods during stormy weather, he will consider the establishment of a wireless station for the purpose?

Sir K. WOOD

The annual costs of a telegraph service (provided by wireless) would be out of all proportion to the revenue from the very small traffic which could be anticipated, and in these circumstances I regret that I should not be justified in establishing a service without a substantial contribution from the interested parties.
