§ MR. CAYZER (Barrow-in-Furness)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as the finding of the Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Trinacria off Cape Villano, on the coast of Spain, on the 7th of February last, in which 31 persons were drowned, stated that lights of the first order are urgently required on Cape Villano and Cape Finisterre, whether Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid, in reply to the representations he has been instructed to make, has received any definite information from the Spanish Government as to the time when the light at Cape Villano will be improved; and whether he has any information that the present defective light at Cape Finisterre is likely to be replaced by one of the first order?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, BerwickAs regards Cape Villano, the Spanish Government have informed Sir H. D. Wolff that the apparatus for producing the electric light which is to be exhibited from the lighthouse there is being erected, and 'will, it is hoped, be shortly in working order. No answer has yet been received to His Excellency's last inquiry respecting the light on Cape Finisterre, but he was recently informed that the Minister for Public Works would reply very soon.
