§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork, W.)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether preliminaries for the erection of a Coastguard Station on Bere Island commenced some years ago; and, if so, what is the cause of the delay in its erection?
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. FORWOOD)(who replied) (Lancashire, Ormskirk)said, he had nothing to add to the answer given by the First Lord of the Admiralty to the hon. Member in September, 1887. The present Coastguard Station on Bere Island was held on lease, and its transfer to another locality had not yet been definitely settled, no agreement having been come to with regard to a new site.
