§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether any further progress has been made by the Irish Light Commissioners with the erection of the gas lighted sounding buoy, promised by him on their 23 behalf in 1902, at the Tuns Bank entrance to Lough Foyle; and, if not, what is the cause of the delay.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, CentralI am informed by the Commissioners of Irish Lights that they hope to place the buoy on Tuns Bank during the coming summer. Some slight delay has been caused by a strike at the contractors' works, which has now been settled.
