IN HONG KONG TO IMPERIAL & INTER-- NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
LIMITRY.

77. The Committee had under consideration correspondon o
regarding the proposal that Imperial and International
Communications Limited should take over the Government
W/T. Station at Hong Kong. (I. C. C. 1219).
MR. VERION said that it appeared that Hong Kong
were willing to hand over the Station on certain
conditions including the provision by the Company of
a service of overseas Radio Telephony, and that the
Admiralty had no objection so long as the Naval W/T
Station was not affected and they were consulted before
any new Station was erected, which might be liable to
cause interference.
MR. PHILLIPS asked if any agreement had yet been
reached in this matter.
MR. VERNON said no.
He
In reply to a question from Captain Dorling he sai
that he did not know where the Company proposed to put
their Station, but he presumed that it would consult
with the Admiralty before taking any action.
remarked that the local telephone service in Hong Kong
was at present under the control of a Local Company,
but he had suspicions that the International Telegraph
and Telephone Company of America had got an eye on thi
system as a desirable acquisition.
CONCLUSION
The Committee agreed to take note of the above paper.
