§ MR. FRESHFIELDasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If the Government intend to proceed next Session with the Bill brought in but dropped in the last Session for completing the harbour and works at Dover; and, if not, whether they will give such timely 692 notice in the Recess as will enable the local authorities to take such action as they may be advised to take in the matter?
THE CHANCELLOR OFTHE EXCHEQUERI am not, Sir, in a position definitively to state the intentions of the Government. They entirely recognize the justice of the latter part of the Question, and they will undertake that timely notice shall be given to the harbour authorities as to the course which the Government will pursue.
