63. Dr. MURRAYasked the Postmaster-General when the cable communication between Stornoway and the mainland is likely to be restored?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYA cable ship is about to start on an expedition which will include the repair of the cable between Stornoway and the mainland. There are several other cables to be repaired en route, but with favourable weather conditions it is anticipated that it will be possible to repair the Stornoway cable within three weeks or a month. Meanwhile a service is being maintained with the Outer Hebrides by means of the wireless stations at Tobermory and Lochboisdale.
