§ MR. RICHARDS (Finsbury, E.)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, if his attention has been called to the position and insanitary condition of the coastguard look-out station at Portreath, Cornwall, which is rented from the Portreath Harbour Company at the sum of £3 10s. per annum; whether he will consider the advisability of erecting a proper station on the opposite hill facing the Bull Rock, as it is impossible, under existing circumstances, to obtain a view either to the East or West, and the lookout station is devoid of all ventilation.
(Answer.) No complaint appears to have reached the Admiralty either as to the position or insanitary condition of the look-out station in question, but a report will be called for on the subject. The property belongs to the lord of the manor and not to the Portreath Harbour Company. The annual rent paid is £3, and not £3 10s as stated.—(Admiralty.)
