HC Deb 16 March 1899 vol 68 cc962-3
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has any objection to grant a Return of the Amounts expended respectively on the Admiralty Pier at Holyhead, and on the Carlisle Pier, Kingstown, in connection with the last and present Holyhead and Kingstown mail contracts?

MR. HANBURY

I will give the honourable Member the particulars now. The amounts expended, so far as it is possible to distinguish them, have been —upon the Admiralty Pier at Holyhead, £49,187, on the Carlisle Pier at Kingstown, £16,461. The annual expenditure on dredging Kingstown Harbour amounts in addition to £1,000 or £1,200.
