§ Sir R. HAMILTONasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to experiments carried out by other countries in the combined use of aeroplanes and wireless telegraphy for the purpose of locating shoals of fish and conveying information thereof to fishing boats; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made as to the practical value of such operations in the case of British herring fleets?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. By the courtesy of the Air Ministry, five experimental flights have been carried out by officers of my Department, and others are in contemplation. The results so far have not been very encouraging.
