HC Deb 03 December 1909 vol 13 c610W
Sir OWEN PHILIPPS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have issued instructions that the Avenue Road, which forms the approach from the Defensible Barracks Hill to the main entrance gate of Pembroke Dockyard is in future to be closed to the public on one day every year; and, if so, whether he is aware that the road has been uninterruptedly opened to the public for more than 20 years, and if, under the circumstances, he will reconsider the matter?

Mr. McKENNA

Part of the road referred to is to be closed one day every year in order to preserve Admiralty rights, but only that part which is the small length of road between the main gates and the line of the dockyard boundary wall.
