HC Deb 04 April 1892 vol 3 cc563-4
MR. LEWIS (Anglesey)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Government have come to any decision as to the removal of the Platters Rocks, in Holyhead Harbour, as requested by a deputation which appeared before the President of the Board of Trade in August, 1888; and, if so, what their decision is?

* THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

Some time ago I suggested a plan which I thought might improve the accommodation in this harbour for the smaller class of vessels at a comparatively small cost; but this did not meet with sufficient support to justify the Government in proceeding with it, and I can only say that no definite decision has been come to on the subject.
