BILL (Staffordshire, Leek)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the rules affecting the use of the commercial mole at Gilbraltar have been decided upon; and whether representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, or of the mercantile community generally, will be included in the board of management.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton.) A scheme for the administration of the 99 commercial mole at, Gibraltar has been drawn up with the assistance of four members of the mercantile body.
