HC Deb 31 March 1884 vol 286 c1156
MR. WILLIAMSON

asked the First Commissioner of Works. What steps, if any, he is taking to prevent the outer wall of that interesting ruin, the ancient Castle of St. Andrews (which is national property), falling into the sea, a misfortune at present imminent?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

Sir, steps will shortly be taken by the Government to prevent the further wasting of the cliff by the action of the sea, which, if allowed to continue unchecked, might in time endanger this interesting ruin.
