§ SIR R. PENROSE-FITZGERALD () CambridgeI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact of breakages of the telephonic cables between lightships and the shore having taken place from time to time, he will consider the desirability of adopting the wireless system for one or more of the light vessels recommended by the Royal Commission on Electrical Communication and not connected by cable at the present time?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADEThe possibility of adopting the wireless system of telegraphy for light vessels is a very important question, which is receiving careful consideration, but upon which I am not yet in a position to express an opinion.
