§ DR. SHIPMAN (Northampton)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Trade what were the duties on imported wheat per imperial quarter in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy, respectively, during the year 1904; what were the average prices of wheat per imperial quarter in each of those countries during that year; and what were the estimated percentages of imported wheat in the total wheat supply of each of those countries during the same period.
§ (Answered by Mr Bonar Law.)
§ able, owing to their proximity to the mainland, to communicate with the shore on clear nights by means of special signalling lamps provided for the purpose. Communication from the Longships can also be made by day by semaphore or explosive rocket, and by night by explosive rocket. As the hon. Member is aware, communication by wireless telegraphy is about to be established between six lightships and the shore, and if the experiment is found to be successful the system will, no doubt, be extended to other outlying light-stations. I can only say, at present, that the case of these two lighthouses will receive consideration.
