§ 9. Mr. HUTCHISONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it will be possible to remove the existing aerials on top of Admiralty House; what would be the cost involved in transferring them to some other convenient place; and whether he will consider taking such action in order to increase the appearance and amenities of the Admiralty buildings?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLThe aerials on the roof of the Admiralty building are necessary to ensure that communication between the Fleets at sea and the Admiralty should be rapid, direct and reliable under all conditions. No other site would be convenient.
