§ Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the President of the Board of Education whether the wireless sets purchased for elementary and secondary schools in connection with school work are bought through local retailers or wholesale through the manufacturers thereof?
Mr. STANLEYThe Central Council for School Broadcasting publish a list of receiving apparatus suitable for use in schools and they advise schools when choosing apparatus from this list to consult the respective manufacturers, particularly in regard to the fulfilment of certain undertakings as to maintenance which the manufacturers have given. The usual practice is for the manufacturers to make arrangements for their local agents or dealers to instal the apparatus and to keep it in repair during the period of the guarantee. Special arrangements regarding the price of sets may be made in particular cases, but I have no information on the point.
