HC Deb 19 November 1946 vol 430 c82W
135. Mr. Medlicott

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that, despite the hope he expressed on 16th July, 1946, the beach at Happisburgh. Norfolk, is still obstructed by military defence works; and how soon their removal will be completed.

Mr. Bellenger

The minefields referred to in the answer given to the hon. Member on 16th July last were found to be more extensive than was expected but they have now been cleared. The clearance of other defence works, a task which is normally carried out by the local authority, has consequently been held up but the matter is now being looked into.
