HC Deb 05 July 1928 vol 219 c1589W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Postmaster-General whether the Post Office staff are engaged on work for Trinity House on electrical communication with lighthouses and light vessels; and the number of men so engaged and the places where they are employed?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

No Post Office staff is exclusively engaged on work for Trinity House. The communications with the Trinity House lighthouses are part of the public telephone system and are worked and maintained by Post Office staff in ordinary course. The wireless telephone installations on light vessels are not provided or worked by the Post Office.
