HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 c269W
134. Mr. Drayson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what off-shore licences have been granted on the coast of Devonshire and Cornwall to prospect for alluvial minerals; what are the names and nationalities of the companies who have taken up concessions; what concessions are still available; and if he will publish a map.

Mr. MacDermot

The Crown Estate Commissioners have granted a prospecting licence to search for alluvial tin off the coast of Cornwall to an American Company, and a licence to dredge for tin in St. Ives Bay to a British Company. The areas still available are shown on the map which I will place in the Library.
