asked the Postmaster-General whether, in connection with the development of the Empire wireless chain, the sites have yet been acquired for the erection of the signalling stations for communicating between Great Britain and Australia and India?

Sites near Grimsby (for the transmitting station) and near Skegness (for the receiving station) have been selected for the Beam Stations for communication with Australia and India, and it is hoped that the purchase of the various properties concerned will be completed at an early date. The order for the erection of these stations has already been placed with the contractors.
