§ 17. Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the President of the Board of Trade the terms on which he is disposing of the foreshore at Ayr to the corporation; whether he has considered the terms of the town's charter; and on what grounds he has decided that the corporation's original title to the foreshore under this charter of William the Lion is not valid?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNo claim on the basis of the town charter has been put forward, but the corporation recently offered, and the Department agreed to accept, the sum of £250 for a conveyance of the foreshore in question.
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOOREWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the terms of the Charter granted by William the Lion?
