§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state what is the amount of loan which has been applied for by Mr. R. E. Ward for making harbour works and other improvements in Bangor, County Down; what is the date of the first application made by MR. Ward in respect of the same; whether he can give the estimated value of the security offered, and explain the cause of delay in advancing the loan; and whether he is aware of the great advantage the people of Belfast and Bangor would gain by the proposed improvements?
§ *THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT, Oldham)I have not had time to obtain the particulars asked for by the hon. Member, but I think it may be sufficient at present to say that the Public Works Loan Board are waiting for the applicant to make out his title to the property offered as security.
