HC Deb 16 February 1914 vol 58 cc611-2W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade the present position of the case concerning the foreshore rights at Seaview, Isle of Wight; and what the prospects are of the matter being finally settled?

Mr. BURNS

Since the reply of my predecessor to the question of my hon. Friend, on the 17th March last, the defendants in this case have filed their answer to further interrogatories, and the action has been set down for trial. I regret that it

is not possible for me to say with certainty when the case is likely to be heard in Court, but I do not anticipate that there will be any long delay.
