Mr. SHIRLEY BENNasked the Postmaster-General whether the expert telegraphists have lately been withdrawn from the Rame Head War Signal Station and Stoke Point; and, if so, whether their places have been filled by equally experienced and equally efficient telegraphists?
§ Mr. PEASEOne telegraphist at Rame Head and one at Stoke Point have recently been withdrawn as their services were not required. The hon. Member may rest assured that changes of the telegraph staff at naval stations are only made with the concurrence of the Admiralty.
