HC Deb 10 December 1908 vol 198 cc733-4
MR. DUNDAS WHITE (Dumbartonshire)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he will say what, if any, portions of the foreshores of the Clyde between Glasgow and Helensburgh, on the north side of the river, and Glasgow and Greenock, on the south side, are treated as belonging to the Crown.

(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) The greater part of the foreshores referred to is prima facie the property of the Crown. Certain portions are, however, vested in private owners, and claims have been made to other portions, which latter have not been admitted by the Crown. I am not able to give the limits of these portions in reply to a Question, but some of the information asked for could be supplied personally to my hon. friend or his representative if application is made at the Board of Trade.
