HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1195W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, now that hostilities have ceased, further action is proposed regarding the claim of the Crown to the foreshore rights at Seaview, Isle of Wight; and whether there is any prospect of the case being expeditiously settled?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

There are still many legal matters arising out of the War which, notwithstanding the cessation of hostilities, demand, and will continue to demand, attention in priority to others. My right hon. Friend has, however, given instructions that this matter shall be pressed on as soon as possible with a view to it being disposed of.
