§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board; of Trade whether he will bring pressure to bear on the Irish Lights Commissioners to have the lighthouse on Rock Angus at the entrance of Strangford Lough lighted in view of the fact that two more vessels have recently gone ashore in addition to the many already lost.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEI am informed by the Commissioners of Irish Lights that they do not at present intend to apply for sanction to light Rock Angus. The initiation of proposals for new lighthouse works rests with the general lighthouse authorities, and I am not prepared to act as the hon. Member suggests.
