§ MR. HUMBERSTONsaid, he rose, in the absence of his hon. and gallant Friend (Colonel Rowley), to ask the President of the Board of Trade what local inquiry was instituted by the Board of Trade, and at what date, in respect of the scheme sanctioned by the Provisional Order for the Rhyl Pier; and whether any written Report was made by the Admiralty to the Board of Trade as to the Pier at Rhyl, and when made?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSON, in reply, said, no local inquiry was made, nor was one thought necessary. Accurate charts were handed in by both parties, and it was obvious from those charts that the proposed Pier would not interfere with the navigation. Therefore, no local inquiry was undertaken. Other questions arose, of a character which it was not for the Board of Trade to decide, and the Bill was consequently referred to a Select Committee.
§ MR. HUMBERSTONWas there any written Report from the Board of Admiralty?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONNo.
