§ 51. Mr. HOHLERasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the reference made by Lord Jellicoe to the developments in the intelligence system and improvements in the efficiency of our directional wireless stations towards the end of 1914 and the year 1915, which resulted in our being able to obtain reliable knowledge as to the movement of enemy vessels without the necessity of keeping our ships constantly at sea; is it the fact that like developments enabled the location of Zeppelins; and will he inquire as to who is the person to whom these developments are attributable, and state what preferment or reward he has received or will receive therefor?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is true that certain inventions did enable the location of Zeppelins to be discovered. They were made, however, by several officers in the course of their military duties.
