Captain WEIGALL
asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, according to their last published report, have made a transfer of their assets and business to subsidiary companies, he will make inquiries as to the financial ability of the company to carry out their indemnity given to the Postmaster-General in section 21 of the company's contract with His Majesty's Government?
Mr. HOBHOUSE
Presumably the hon. and gallant Member intended to refer to clause 22 of the agreement with the company. No reasons have been suggested to ma which make me think it necessary to make inquiry as to the ability of the company to carry out the indemnity referred to in the clause.
