Crown Foreshore Rights near Cork Harbour.

HC Deb 10 July 1902 vol 110 c1369

MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state the extent of the Crown foreshore adjoining Cork Harbour which in November, 1899, was let to the War Department at a renta of 2s. 6d. per annum; and, seeing the this foreshore was subsequently sold by the Department in June, 1900, will he state the amount paid.

MR. BRODRICK

Sixteen perches of foreshore were so rented. The hon. Member has been misinformed as to the sale of the foreshore by the War Department.

MR. WEIR

Have not the Commissioners of Woods and Forests made the sale to the War Office?

MR. BRODRICK

I cannot say.
