§ SIR J. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty under what authority and for what purposes a piece of Hayling Beach Common, Hampshire, 100 feet square, has been enclosed by the Admi- 1216 ralty; whether any and, if so, how much compensation has been paid to the commoners for the extinction of their rights over the land enclosed; and whether, seeing that the local authority is opposed to the enclosure and in view of the action taken by Parliament in 1886 in preventing the proposed enclosure of portions of this common, due regard has been taken to the interests of the public by the substitution of land equal in area and value to that now enclosed, or otherwise?
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. A. CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.I have not yet been able to obtain this information, and must ask that the Question be postponed till Monday.
