§ MR. GILHOOLYI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can say what are the rights reserved to the public in the agreement made between the Board of Trade and the trustees of the Bantry Estate in connection with the foreshore of Bantry Bay.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe conveyance to the Bantry Estate Trustees to which the hon. Member refers contains a reservation of all public rights of way to and over the property conveyed. The 451 conveyance also contains a covenant by the trustees not to erect on the property conveyed without the consent of the Board of Trade any building which would, in the Board's opinion, be prejudicial to rights of navigation.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYWill the right hon. Gentleman let us have the conveyance in the form, say, of a parliamentary Paper?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI do not think that desirable.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYIs it not a conveyance from a State Department to a private individual of a grant of foreshore over which the public had rights? How are we to know what the rights thus conveyed are?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have stated what the rights are.
