HC Deb 22 October 1912 vol 42 c1950W
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked how many of the vessels of the Home Fleet, larger than torpedo craft, are able to pass under the Forth Bridge at all states of the tide without lowering the aerials of their wireless outfit?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am quite prepared to give the hon. Member this information in confidence, but I see no need for the publication of technical details of this character.

Mr. BURGOYNE

asked whether the structure of the Forth Bridge provides any interference in wireless communications between Rosyth and the sea to the east of Rosyth; and whether the erection of a subsidiary or repeating station on Inch-keith is under consideration?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am advised that it would not be in the public interest to furnish the information asked for.
