HC Deb 15 July 1929 vol 230 c14
42. Mr. W. BENNETT

asked the Minister of Agriculture if any steps have yet been taken by his Department to assist the fishing port of Brixham, in Devon?

Mr. N. BUXTON

During the past 10 years Brixham Harbour undertaking has received generous assistance from the Exchequer. I will send my hon. Friend a statement on the subject, which is too long for an oral answer. My right hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry is going to discuss the financial situation of the harbour undertaking with representatives of the harbour authority on Wednesday next.

Commander WILLIAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman look on this harbour with as friendly an eye as his predecessor did?
