HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c57W
81. Mr. Pritt

asked the Postmaster-General to what extent the research station, the name of which has been communicated to him, is now engaged on defence research work; and when it ceased to be wholly engaged on peacetime research.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The station to which my hon. Friend refers is engaged on research work covering all aspects of telecommunications and other Post Office services. Some part of its work is naturally always adaptable for defence purposes, but the proportion cannot be assessed at any particular period.
