THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.)

(who replied) said: In answering this Question, I may as well answer Question 35 also. I am informed that the cost of removing the Platters Rock in Holyhead Harbour is estimated at £250,000. The Board of Trade are not now prepared to recommend such an expenditure.
