HC Deb 10 February 1898 vol 53 c223
MR. DRAGE

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether it is yet possible for him to make a statement on the subject of commercial signalling from lighthouses; whether he will be able to make arrangements under which vessels passing the Tuskar Light and signalling may be promptly reported?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

No, Sir, I am not in a position to make any arrangements for commercial signalling at present.
