§ Mr. KIRKWOODasked the Secretary for War whether, in view of the fact that the sole approach to Foulness Island, in Essex, known as the Broomway, has been damaged owing to the gun practice from 2667W Shoeburyness, he will make inquiries into the matter with a view to preventing such occurrences taking place in the future?
§ Mr. HALDANEInquiries have been made into this matter, and it appears that on 25th July the causeway known as the Broomway was slightly damaged by projectiles. Repairs were immediately put in band and the damaged places roped off. The police and the Rector of Foulness Island were at once informed. It is not anticipated that serious damage which would prevent the approach to Foulness Island by the Broomway at low tide will occur, and every precaution to prevent such damage will be taken.
