With the end of the war and the Dominions continuing to to administer burden on the Government to accommodate an 'Imperial wireless system',6 the House of Commons agreed in 1919 that £170,000 should be spent amalgam the aboriginal two radio stations in the chain, in Oxfordshire (at Leafield) and Egypt (in Cairo), to be completed in aboriginal 19208 - although the hotlink in fact opened on 24 April 1922,2 two months afterwards the UK declared Egypt independent.
Parliament's accommodation came anon afterwards acknowledged activity accomplished by Marconi in June 1919, claiming £7,182,000 in amercement from the British Government for aperture of their July 1912 contract, and in which they were awarded £590,000 by the court.9 The Government aswell commissioned the 'Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Committee' chaired by Sir Henry Norman (the Norman Committee), which appear in 1920. The Norman Address recommended that transmitters should accept a ambit of 2,000 miles, so acute the use of broadcast stations,10 and that England should be affiliated to Canada, Australia, South Africa, Egypt, India, East Africa, Singapore and Hong Kong,11 about the address was not acted upon.12 While the British politicians connected to procrastinate, Marconi connected to assemble stations for added nations, bond arctic and south America, as able-bodied as China and Japan, in 1922.13 In January 1922 the Association of British Chambers of Commerce added its articulation to the demands for action, adopting a resolution advancement the Government to actively boldness the matter,14 as did added organisations such as the Empire Press Union, which claimed that the Empire was adversity 'incalculable loss' in its absence.15
Under burden from such quarters, the afterward the 1922 General Election, the Conservative government commissioned a added board - the Empire Wireless Committee, chaired by Sir Robert Donald, to actively 'consider and admonish aloft the action to be adopted as commendations an Imperial wireless account so as to assure and facilitate accessible interest.' It's address was presented to the Postmaster-General on 23 February 192416 The board fabricated recommendations that were agnate to those of the Norman Board - that any stations in Great Britain acclimated to acquaint with the Empire should be in the easily of the State, that the they should be operated by the Post Office, and that 8 high-power longwave stations should be used, as able-bodied as land-lines.617 The arrangement was estimated at £500,000.17 At the time the board was blind of Marconi's 1923 abstracts into shortwave radio transmissions, which offered a abundant cheaper another - although not a commercially accurate one - to the high-power long-wave manual systems.6
Following the Donald Address and discussions with the Dominions, it was absitively that the high-power Rugby longwave base (announced on 13 July 1922 by the antecedent Government18) would be completed back it acclimated accurate technology, in accession to which a amount of shortwave 'beam stations' would be congenital (so alleged because a directional antenna was acclimated to apply the radio manual into a attenuated directional beam) to acquaint with those dominions that chose to use the new shortwave technology. Parliament assuredly accustomed an acceding amid the Post Office and Marconi to body axle stations to acquaint with Canada, South Africa, India and Australia, on 1 August 1924.6
