HC Deb 09 March 1880 vol 251 cc682-3
SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is true that in the course of the winter several persons have been drowned in attempting to land at Larnaca, and, whether the Government have taken or propose to take any steps for providing a safe landing-place there?

MR. BOURKE

NO, Sir. No report of such an occurrence as that mentioned by the hon. Member has reached the Foreign Office, and no proposal to provide a new landing-place is before the Foreign Office.

SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID

I would ask the hon. Gentleman, whether he will make inquiries?

MR. BOURKE

We have made inquiries. The fact of the hon. Member having asked the Question will draw the Commissioner's attention to the report.
