HC Deb 23 March 1860 vol 157 c1152
MR. DANBY SEYMOUR

said, he would beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he is about to bring in any measure founded on the Report of the Harbours of Refuge Commissioners; and whether such measure will contain provisions for facilitating the raising of money by small seaport towns for the improvement of their Harbours?

MR. MILNER GIBSON

said, he hoped the hon. Gentleman would allow him to defer his statement with regard to any measure upon the general question of Harbours of Refuge until the subject should be brought formally before the House. He would only state upon the present occasion that it was his intention to introduce a measure for the improvement of such Harbours as those to which the hon. Gentleman referred.
