HC Deb 07 June 1932 vol 266 cc1759-60
13. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has yet received the report of His Majesty's Ship "Flinders" on the estuary of the River Exe; and whether he is now prepared to grant permission to men from Topsham to dredge for sand and gravel?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

It is hoped that prints of the chart resulting from the recent survey will be available during this month. The question of dredging will then be examined by my Department in conjunction with the authorities concerned.
