§ SIR WHITTAKER ELLIS (Surrey, Kingston)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Government have in contemplation any schemes in reference to the navigation of the Lower Bann; whether any contemplated works will destroy the water power existing at what is known as the Cuts, just above Coleraine; and, whether provision has been made for the 1149 preservation of the fisheries, which are of so much importance to the City of Londonderry and the Town of Coleraine?
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent Isle of Thanet)(who replied) said: The Question put by my hon. Friend is premature in the present state of affairs. The points referred to, however, have not boon lost sight of, nor will they when definite designs for the improvement of the Bann are being prepared.
