§ Sir H. Morris-Jonesasked the Post-master-General whether his attention has 1135W been called to the new German radio station at Herzberg in Saxony; and whether he will consider the advisability of constructing another radio station of equivalent power in this country?
§ Mr. MabaneBy international agreement this country and Germany are each entitled to only one long-wave broadcasting station. The new long-wave station at Herzberg in Saxony replaces the older long-wave station at Zeesen, near Berlin, and like the Droitwich station it is at present entitled by international agreement to use power of 150 kilowatts. I understand this is the power at present being used. From March, 1940, both the Droitwich and the Herzberg stations will be entitled to use power of 200 kilo watts.
