HC Deb 07 July 1924 vol 175 c1798W
Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the very serious coast erosion now going on at Selsey; what steps have been taken to deal with the situation; and if he can make any statement?

Mr. BUXTON

Yes, Sir; but my Department has no power to deal directly with a situation of this kind. I am, however, considering whether any remedy can be found by means of one of the unemployment relief schemes organised by the Ministry, and with that end in view I am in communication with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, who own adjacent property.
