HC Deb 02 May 1893 vol 11 c1736
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)

I bog to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will consider the possibility of depositing the dredgings from Sheerness on the Barrow Deeps, instead of east of the Nore Light, on the Kent and Essex fishing grounds?

MR. E. ROBERTSON

The dredgings from Sheerness are deposited off the Nore, by means of small hopper barges, towed by tugs, which are not adapted to going so far as the Barrow Deep. After the completion of the Ship Channel new arrangements will be made, and the question of deposit at the Barrow Deep will, doubtless, be considered with other alterations.
