§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Government have considered the use of British cruisers on foreign stations for the purpose of receiving and transmitting important commercial telegrams by wireless telegraphy in conjunction with shore wireless telegraph stations; and if he will consider the practicability of this course in view of the delays in commercial telegrams at present owing to congestion on the cables?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe fullest possible use is being made of His Majesty's shore wireless telegraphy stations to facilitate commercial traffic, but the use of British cruisers on foreign stations for this purpose is, I am advised, impracticable.
