HC Deb 27 May 1897 vol 49 c1419
MR. F. B. MILDMAY (Devon, Totnes)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has received any recent complaints on behalf of fishermen, of dangerous firing in the vicinity of Plymouth Sound; and whether he will give such instructions as will prevent its recurrence?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

Nothing is known at the Admiralty on the subject. My hon. Friend has given me some details with reference to the alleged dangerous firing near Plymouth Sound, and I have referred his communication to the Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, in order that an inquiry may be made into the matter.
