§ Lord WalstonMy Lords, I beg to introduce a Bill to empower harbour masters to give directions to prohibit vessels from entering the areas of jurisdiction of their respective harbour authorities or to require the removal of vessels from those areas where those vessels present a grave and imminent danger to the safety of any person or property, or risk of obstruction to navigation; to enable the Secretary of State to give 320 further directions countermanding those first-mentioned directions; and for connected purposes. I beg to move that this Bill be now read a first time.
