HC Deb 04 August 1904 vol 139 cc985-6
MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, if the estimates for a harbour for the Bangor fishermen can be cut down to £5,000, he will consent to recommend a grant for that amount.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

The Department of Agriculture offered to contribute one-fourth of the expenditure on the improvement of the harbour, originally estimated to cost £10,000. The Department is not prepared to contribute the entire cost, if reduced to £5,000.

MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)

I hope the right hon. Gentleman will bear in mind that Bangor is a place much used by the Navy.
