HC Deb 16 July 1929 vol 230 cc209-10
35. Sir GERVAIS RENTOUL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to introduce legislation in order to give effect to the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Coast Erosion, especially for the purpose of prohibiting the removal of materials from the foreshore and the co-ordination and control of the construction of works by local authorities in the interests of sea defence?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I hope to introduce a Bill on this subject before the Summer Recess.

Commander WILLIAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman give full consideration to the position of farmers in certain districts, where a very important source of the manure they use is material from the foreshore?

Mr. GRAHAM

I am afraid the hon. and gallant Member must await the text of the Bill.
