Viscount Curzon: ...to the full extent of the £1,600 which it is proposed to devote to Pembroke. I should like to know what expenditure is required for dredging the Medway in order to get a proper depth of water to enable Chatham dockyard to be used by the class of ships that use that dockyard. There are sums in the Vote relating to Sheerness. I understood some time ago that Sheerness had been closed down,...

Mr William Kelly: ...in pay. Is it the case that the decrease applies to certain sections of the Forces, while other sections are being given an increase? I desire also to ask for some explanation regarding the Nab Light. I notice that the Admiralty have decided to hand over to Trinity House the Nab Tower at Portsmouth. It is mentioned on page 28 of the Estimates, and I should like to hear some explanation as...
Mr Walter Runciman: ...being owned by the three general lighthouse authorities and four by local lighthouse authorities. Sanction has recently been given for the erection by the Trinity House of a radio-beacon at the Nab Tower, and by the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses of a similar beacon at Barra Head on the west coast of Scotland. It is anticipated that the erection of both beacons will be completed...

Mr Walter Runciman: There are radio-beacons on the south coast of England at Dungeness, Start Point, Caskets, Round Island (Scilly), Rame Head (near Ply- mouth), and on the Nab Tower (Spit-head), the last of which was completed only in December last. The wireless telegraph stations at Niton and the Land's End give, on request, bearings to ships. Only radio-beacons or other wireless facilities proposed to be...
Exchange, Nab Lane, Blackburn.
Mr Brendan Bracken: I do not think the Americans will ever be found to be in great difficulty in solving the problem as the hon. Gentleman suggests. I was just about to turn to some of the defects of sponsored radio, so, perhaps, the hon. Gentleman would oblige me by listening for a moment or two. My slight knowledge of broadcasting in the United States would hardly justify me in making didactic criticisms of...
Mr Alfred Barnes: The restoration of the navigational aids at the Nab Tower, which were reduced to meet war requirements, started last July when the radio beacon then operating was discontinued to allow work to be started on the new beacon. This new beacon will come into operation on 15th May. Work on the reinstallation of better lights and fog signals at the tower has also started and Trinity House are...
Mr Joseph Mallalieu: ...of the Colne. I lived there all my life; I was born and bred there. I have walked all over the moors and I have seen the stream start from the great black moorland barrier of Standedge, from Nab's Sarah, from the Nabs and Wessenden. At its sources the water is absolutely clear. It is lovely Yorkshire moorland water—bright, cool and fresh. By the time it has come down into the valley and...
Squadron Leader Samuel Segal: My hon. Friend says that these figures have no relevance. My view is that they point to the desperate necessity of having this Bill passed into law for the benefit of the vast majority of our expectant mothers who have not the access to skilled medical help which the wives of doctors or married women doctors have at their disposal. Another striking figure was contained in this report. These...
Mr Thomas Williams: .... It might be possible for the trade unions to begin negotiations within their own ranks and with the employers to see if some kind of wages structure could be set up within industry that would enable increases of pay and allowances to be made to those beneath the 95s. a week level, without putting pressure at the same time to increase the wages of higher paid workers. For my own part I...
Mr Ralph Morley: .... At a recent meeting in Fareham, which was held in order to consider this question, an engineer said: It is almost impossible to throw even a bucket of dirty oil into the water without getting nabbed. Every captain with a quantity he wants to get rid of throws it into a lighter. As a matter of fact, no captain of an oil tanker is allowed to empty bilge oil anywhere except in the open sea....
Mr John Vaughan-Morgan: I was referring to the speech of the right hon. Member for Greenock who spoke of administra- tive chaos, and I was referring in particular to the circulars of the Ministry. I shall have a few remarks to make on the subject later. This is a very difficult scheme to put into practice. Hon. Members opposite have said that it would break down completely, yet, at the same time, they are...
Mr Jack Browne: I agree with the hon. Gentleman, but I have a greater faith in British production, British enterprise and the British worker than he has. I wish to move to another point, which is the mechanics of the Welfare State. Today we have three interlocking Ministries, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of National Insurance and the National Assistance Board. The Ministry of Labour offices are...
Mr John Paton: Is not the position exactly the same with regard to the old age pensioners allowed to earn up to 40s.? Why should there be this illogical and completely unwise differentiation, with N.A.B. beneficiaries limited to 20s.?
Mr Jack Browne: I have read the Report, and if the hon. Member will read it again he will see that it does not go so far as that. I do not like these labels put on reports, and I am sure that most hon. Members will agree with me. The hon. Member for Sowerby (Mr. Houghton), whom I am glad to see in his place, said that we, on this side of the House, now had a "Leo." After listening, not to him, but to many...
Mr George Brown: ...down below. I should think that the Financial Secretary to the Treasury must be having a most nerve-wracking time. He cannot be sure whether, if he puts his head through the door, he will be nabbed for this Bill or will be nabbed for the next one. I hope that the Lords Commissioners to the Treasury are organising a good kind of relay system in order to make quite sure that the hon....
Dr Reginald Bennett: ...the tip of the Isle of Wight. Even if the merciful blanket of fog descends, it does not, as might be expected, wrap the place in a pleasing silence, because, first, we have the dreary moan of the Nab Light Tower with its fog siren and the wailing of the disconsolate shipping. And then, should this be too trying and should one move to, say, Lee-on-Solent, what do we find there? We find that...
Mr George Brown: While the right hon.' Gentleman is right in saying that in 1951 the Board had the information, we were not arranging financial policies so that, in fact, the main weight of the attack fell on the price of food. The fact that this Government have changed that means that those people are worse off than they were then. To make the pattern available to the N.A.B. is not so valid as it was then....
