HC Deb 24 June 1958 vol 590 c232
37. Mr. Willis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reply he has received from Edinburgh Corporation concerning tide and storm damage at East-field; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Maclay

Edinburgh Corporation recently informed me that it had the condition of the sea wall at Eastfield under active consideration, with a view to the action which it might take under the Coast Protection Act. I am awaiting a further report from the Corporation.

Mr. Willis

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that Edinburgh Corporation has had this matter under active consideration for several years? Is not it time that he gave the Corporation a bit of a jog and got something done?

Mr. Maclay

I am certain that the Corporation will take note of the views expressed by the hon. Member.
