§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Postmaster-General what plans he has for substituting a single wavelength for distress signals from both ships and aircraft, in place of the present separate wavelengths.
§ Mr. StonehouseNone. Frequencies for distress messages are fixed by international agreement. The choice of the frequency to be used in a particular case depends largely on the type of radio equipment carried by the ship or aircraft in distress.
