§ MR. CAYZER (Barrow-in-Furness)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to the large loss of life and property on the coast of Spain and Portugal, and to the fact that he is advised that an improved system of lighting would conduce to the greater safety of ships, he will name the lights on this coast, which, in the opinion of his advisers, require improvement; what improvement they recommend in each case; and if any new lights are recommended by them, what is to be their description and position?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI am unable to give the information asked for with respect to lights on the coasts of foreign Governments.
§ MR. CAYZERAm I to understand the right hon. Gentleman will take no steps in this matter?
§ MR. MUNDELLAAS I told the hon. Gentleman the other day, representations have been sent to the Foreign Office. We have no power to survey the coasts of other nations.
§ MR. W. REDMONDWhen were those recommendations made, and were they communicated to the Governments of Spain and Portugal?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI cannot answer that without notice.
