HC Deb 24 February 1932 vol 262 cc365-6
15. Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will give the result of the trials that have been made in His Majesty's Submarine "Rainbow," as regards the indicator buoys for locating the position of submarines that may sink in consequence of an accident?

Lord STANLEY

Trials of the indicator buoy in His Majesty's Submarine "Rainbow" have been carried out and are reported to have been generally satisfactory. The results are now being considered in the Admiralty.

Sir F. HALL

In these circumstances will instructions be given at once to fix something after the style of these buoys on submarines?

Lord STANLEY

There are a few small points which have to be corrected, but the matter is well in hand.
