asked the President of the Board of Trade if a committee has been appointed to investigate the question of directional wireless; and, if so, when will their Report be issued?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

A Committee was appointed on the 8th July last to advise the Board of Trade regarding the development in the United Kingdom of the service of wireless direction finding stations wireless beacons and similar aids to navigation, and the location and types of such stations to be maintained. The Committee, which consists of representatives of the Departments concerned and of the shipping industry, is a Standing Advisory Committee dealing with concrete cases, and its conclusions or reports would not ordinarily be published.
