HC Deb 17 February 1960 vol 617 cc120-1W
60. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the frequency in past years with which stormy seas in December have prevented reliefs and stores reaching lighthouses, thus compelling keepers to depend on food such as bully beef on Christmas Day, whether he will consider making the necessary arrangements to ensure that in future, whatever the weather conditions, keepers on duty on Christmas Day will be able to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner.

Mr. Hay

This is a matter for the general lighthouse authorities, who are responsible for the administration of the lighthouse services.
