HC Deb 20 July 1857 vol 147 cc25-6
MR. WATKIN

said, he would beg to inquire of the Secretary of the Treasury if the attention of Government has been directed to the importance and facility of making Great Yarmouth Haven a Harbour of Refuge; and whether he is prepared to order evidence to be taken and a Report to be made on the subject, and to lay such Report before the Committee on Harbours of Refuge?

MR. WILSON

said, that no doubt the evidence taken before the Commissioners upon the point alluded to by the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth, would be duly considered, but he was not aware that any peculiar circumstances existed which would render it necessary to take the question of Great Yarmouth Haven especially into consideration.
