Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the President of the Board of Trade the present position of the case in which the Crown is seeking to secure its rights in the foreshore at Sea View, Isle of Wight; and whether there is any prospect of it coming to an early conclusion?
Mr. BUXTONSince my last reply to my hon. Friend on the 14th October last, the Court, on the application of the Board of Trade, have made an order for leave to file an amended information in the suit, and to administer interrogatories to the defendants in respect of the amendments in the information. The amended information and interrogatories have been duly filed and served upon the defendants, and the next step is for the defendants to file their answers thereto.
