HC Deb 19 May 1909 vol 5 cc389-90
Captain FABER

asked the First Lord of vthe Admiralty whether he can give any information as to the alleged attack on a watchman at the signalling station at Humberstone, near Grimsby; and whether there is now an armed patrol there at night?

Mr. McKENNA

The Cleethorpes wireless telegraph station, which is situated at Waltham, near Grimsby, was broken into by two men on the night of Sunday, March 28th. The two men are thought to have been employes of the contractor who had built the station. The station was not in working order at the time, and has only just been completed. The arrangements since made for guarding the station are considered satisfactory.
