HC Deb 20 July 1897 vol 51 c573
MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH (Anglesey)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade what negotiations are now pending as to the removal of the Platters flocks in Holyhead Harbour; and when it is proposed to commence the work of removing the rocks?

MR. RITCHIE

I have been and still am in communication with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this subject, of the importance of which I am fully aware. I am not, however, yet in a position to say what the result of the negotiations will be.

MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman had any information as to when the result of the negotiations would be announced?

MR. RITCHIE

I am afraid that I cannot say exactly when that will be.
