HC Deb 13 December 1944 vol 406 cc1216-7
26. Mr. Channon

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can now give a favourable reply to the appeal of a certain town council, of whose name he has been informed, for the release of their pier.

Mr. Alexander

I regret that it is still impossible to meet the desire of the local authorities in this matter. My hon. Friend may rest assured that the Admiralty will give permission for the pier to be re-opened to the public as soon as the state of the war makes this practicable.

Mr. Channon

May I take it that the right hon. Gentleman will agree to release the pier as soon as possible?

Mr. Alexander

I think I said that.
