CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the whistling buoy the Irish Lights Commissioners have decided to place at Strangford Bar, County Down, is yet in position; and, if not, can he promise that it will be moored before the autumn, when rough weather is generally experienced in that locality.
§ SIR H. KEARLEYI can at present add nothing to the reply which my right hon. friend gave to this Question a week ago.
§ SIR H. KEARLEYNo, Sir; but I will inquire.
CAPTAIN CRAIGAnd if he finds it to be reasonable will he, in view of the fact that stiff weather will shortly set in in that locality, see that a buoy is at once provided?
§ SIR H. KEARLEYThe authorities are probably aware of the fact stated by the hon. and gallant Gentleman.
