HC Deb 23 June 1966 vol 730 c121W
80. Mr. James Johnson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what measures he is taking to improve communications at sea following his recent investigations into this matter.

Mr. Mason

I have written to all fishing vessel associations strongly recommending that radio-equipped fishing vessels should be in touch with their owners or someone ashore, preferably once every 24 hours but at least once every 48 hours.
