§ Mr. Beechmanasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the difficulty of communicating with lighthouse-keepers in times of emergency, he will consult with the Elder Brethren of Trinity House on the possibility of establishing radio-telephonic communication with all the lighthouses round our coasts?
§ Mr. StanleyThirty-seven isolated stations on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland have been or are being equipped with radio-telephony. The desirability of replacing the present means of communication between other off-lying lighthouses and lightvessels and the shore by radio-telephony is at present under consideration.
