§ MR. LEAasked the Secretary to the Treasury, If, in 1878, Admiral Phillimore, then Admiral Superintendent of Naval Reserves, recommended the building of a coastguard station at Kincaslagh, County Donegal; and if in consequence a site was at once selected; and, whether, inasmuch as a considerable amount of property and distress exist in the district, he will cause the work to be commenced?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS),in reply, said, he had not been able to verify the statement referred to by his hon. Friend; but the present Admiral Superintendent of Naval Reserves had not reported the erection of a Coastguard Station at Kincaslagh as an urgent matter, although it would be taken in hand before long, probably in the year 1884. If his hon. Friend found that no provision was made for this service next year, he would, perhaps, then renew this Question.
