§ Major GLYNasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that, partly on account of the work that has to be undertaken, and partly on account of the existing plant of the station, the wireless telegraph installation at Aden fails to give the requisite service to mail and other steamers, especially when within the limits of the Red Sea; and whether steps can be taken to enable Lloyd's, with the aid of the Admiralty, or the Admiralty without any co-operation with Lloyd's, to re-establish the W/T stations at Berbera and Elephant's Back, Aden, to deal solely with the important commercial wireless traffic in that area to connect Berbera with Aden by cable?
§ Sir J CRAIGThe Admiralty are at present considering steps for supplementing the present wireless service at Aden. The station at Berbera is the property of Somaliland, and the Admiralty have no control over it.
