HC Deb 29 April 1907 vol 173 c535
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that at a recent shipwreck the height of the cliff, some 300 feet, prevented the traveller and basket working with freedom, cliff ladders will be supplied to such coastguard stations where they would be likely to be of use in saving life.

MR. KEARLEY

Cliff ladders are supplied to life saving stations on the coast upon the recommendation of our inspectors and coastguard officers. Such ladders have now been requisitioned and supplied to Hope Cove, where the wreck of the "Jebba" recently occurred.
