HC Deb 14 May 1928 vol 217 c669
59. Sir R. HAMILTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that one of the cables to Lerwick is interrupted; when it is intended to repair this cable; and what steps have been taken to meet a possible interruption of the remaining cable during the fishing season?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

I am aware that one of the Lerwick cables is interrupted, and I am taking all possible steps to have it repaired. If the second Lerwick cable should go out of service, wireless communication would be established with as little delay as possible.
