HC Deb 03 March 1871 vol 204 c1271
SIR ROBERT ANSTRUTHER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the intention of the Government to take any action upon the representations which have been forwarded from various quarters as to the present defenceless state of the Frith of Forth?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, I must give the same answer to the Question of the hon. and gallant Baronet that I have given in reply to other Questions upon the subject—namely, that no provision is made in the present Estimates for that purpose.
