HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 cc1058-9
74. Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Health whether he will give consideration to legislation enacting that the public shall have access to the sea for at least 100 yards beyond high-water mark all around the coast of the British Isles; and that, as in Denmark, there shall be no further building within such areas?

Mr. Elliot

I am giving this question my consideration in connection with a recommendation recently made to be by my Advisory Committee on Town and Country Planning.

Mr. Leach

Do I understand that the consideration is to be favourable?
