§ MR. M'CARTANI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state about what date the plans of the proposed new pier at Holy wood, County Down, will be exhibited for inspection at the Harbour Office, Belfast; and whether he will consider the desirability of having a copy of the plans left at some public place in Holywood before the Board of Trade approves of the same?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD or TRADE(Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I made to him on the 17th February last year, when I said that, whenever plans of new works at Holywood are submitted to the Board of Trade for approval, the Belfast 667 Harbour Commissioners will be consulted, and notice of the application for approval will be given in the locality. No application has, as yet, been received, and I am unable to say when the persons interested will apply.
