I think you want

apt install gpm

but you haven't given enough info about what you actually want
to do.

 apt install gpm   : terrific : Brill !!

 - that fixed it . . . overjoyed  :)

.....

  purpose is when using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to access tty1 it is great to be able
to use Mouse.

BTW, tty1 Fonts were Tiny-small , to improved size with :

 <setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/iso01-12x22.psfu.gz>

 [ got font iso01-12x22.psfu.gz from somewhere else : don't recall]

Many thanks
