§ MR. A. L. LEVER (Essex, Harwich)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, in case of a ship in distress or of a wreck, written information of such is sent from the coastguards' station to the coxswain of the National Lifeboat Institution's boat, and that no such information is supplied to the crew of the volunteer lifeboat, notwithstanding the fact that the messenger has to pass the houses of members of the volunteer crew, and whether, in view of the services rendered by the Walton lifeboat, the Board of Admiralty will give instructions that the same information is supplied to the volunteer lifeboat crew, and in the same manner, and at the same time.
§ * MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONInstructions will be issued to the coastguard to give information to both coxswains in the same manner.
