HC Deb 10 February 1876 vol 227 c136
MR. FRESHFIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether the Government has abandoned the measure introduced into the House last Session, and which passed through a Select Committee (but was afterwards dropped) for completing the Harbour and works at Dover, or what is its intention regarding it?

SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY

, in reply, said, the amount of works which the Government had to undertake during the present year was so considerable that it had been found necessary to put off proceeding with Dover Harbour for the present.
