HC Deb 12 March 1896 vol 38 c746
MR. CHARLES BILL (Staffordshire, Leek)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government has come to any decision with reference to the scheme prepared last year by the Admiralty Director of Works for the construction of a mercantile mole at Gibraltar, in compliance with the wishes of the Chamber of Commerce in that port?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.

The Government are considering ways and means for the construction of a new mercantile mole at Gibraltar, and I hope they will announce their decision very shortly.
