BRITISH LIFEBOATS.
GOOD WORK OP INSTITUTION. (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIBELESS.) (Beceived November 28th, 7.5 p.m.) ETJGBY, November 27. The recent disaster to the lifeboat' at Eye, in which 17 lives were lost, was recalled by 1 a question put by Commanr der Kenwo'rthy (Labour) as to the posi-' tion of the Eoyal National Lifeboat Institution. Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister replied that, subject to the provisions of the Mercantile Shipping Act, the National Lifeboat Institution had' always had full responsibility for providing and maintaining lifeboat services on the coasts of the British Isles. He did not think there was any reason for seeking to take away from the Institution the performance of those great public ser, vices which it had discharged faithfully and well since it was founded m ; 1824.
