HC Deb 24 July 1907 vol 178 c1571
MR. MILDMAY (Devonshire, Totnes)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether in a case where a coastguard station is in process of being abolished, the Admiralty will consult the owner before sub-letting the premises for other purposes.

MR. LAMBERT

As regards Great Britain, the general practice is to give the owner or lessor the first option. In the case of Ireland the matter is in the hands not of the Admiralty, but of the Dublin Board of Works.
