§ COLONEL MALCOLM (Argyllshire)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will order a minute survey to be made of the Firth of Clyde, near the Cloch Lighthouse, in order to determine the exact position of the alleged banks, and correct the present Admiralty Charts, which show 19 fathoms where there is less than seven?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Lord G. HAMILTON, Middlesex, Ealing)This survey has been already made. The Admiralty Charts have been corrected, and the results communicated to the Board of Trade.
§ MR. BRADLAUGHIs the noble Lord aware that more than one bank has been discovered? Has the survey been sufficiently made?
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI am not aware of the banks to which the hon. Member refers. There is a bank which is supposed to have been formed by dredging. All the banks have been thoroughly surveyed.
