§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to give details of the trials and demonstrations, at Fraserburgh and Arbroath, of the new inexpensive radar apparatus for guiding small fishing vessels into harbour when visibility is bad; if he is yet in a position to state where it can be obtained for general use; and what is the price charged by his Department.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThese trials were made under operational conditions between a prototype transmitter on shore and fishing vessels fitted with prototype receivers at sea. They were attended by representatives of four fishermen's associations and nine radio manufacturers. The apparatus is not yet on the market, but I understand that manufacturers are actively studying the question of going into commercial production. Details of the design are made available by my Department without charge.
