Dr. Bennettasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in the light of recent losses of trawlers, he will seek to make obligatory the carrying of small automatic radio transmitting buoys in the life-saving equipment of all British ships.
§ Mr. MasonNo. I believe that in general the carriage of a portable radio set for use in survival craft is likely to be of greater value than the carriage of an automatic radio transmitting buoy, and I am at present considering which classes of ships should be required to carry such sets.
