Mr. T. Morrisasked the President of the Board of Trade the names of any lightships which are now obsolete and which it is proposed to replace at an early date?
§ Dr. BurginI am informed by Trinity House that lightvessels as such are not named, and that they change their stations in accordance with the requirements of the service. The scheme of replacement of obsolete lightvessels has only recently been initiated. Three new light-vessels are now under construction, and three more will be ordered during the financial year 1937–8.
