§ 1. Brigadier-General WARNERasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the number of direction-finding stations now in existence as an aid to navigation round the coast of the British Isles; and whether it is proposed to extend these stations?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)There are four direction-finding stations now in operation in the British Isles available to give bearings to ships. These are the Post Office stations at Cullercoats, Flamborough and Niton, and the Admiralty station at Lizard. The Post Office have in hand the fitting of certain other stations with direction-finding apparatus, and if the conditions prove on trial to be satisfactory, these stations will be available to give bearings to ships.
