§ Sir D. Whiteasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if he will consult with the railway companies on the possibility of their engines being fitted with radio-telephony sets, with correspondingly suitable sets at control points, with a view to relieving the anxiety of engine-drivers proceeding blind, and thus slowly, in bad weather, and incidentally doing away with railway delays.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerI am advised that there is as yet no wireless apparatus which would afford a satisfactory remedy for the failure to observe signals. It is not at present practicable to carry out the experiments required to perfect the present apparatus. I hope that this work will be undertaken after the war.
