§ Mr. STRANGERasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the inroads made by the sea last winter in the neighbourhood of the Seabrook lifeboat house and in front of the War Office land and main road at Seabrook, Kent; if he is aware that the breach made by the sea is unrepaired; and whether, in view of the danger of the breach being extended during the forthcoming winter and further damage being done to Government property as well as to property on and adjacent to the high road, he will take immediate steps to cause the necessary repairs to be effected and the sea-wall to be made up?
§ Mr. S. WALSHI am aware of the encroachment of the sea referred to, but the small plot of War Department356W land affected is not of sufficient importance to warrant expenditure from Army funds in protecting it. The answer to the last part of the question is, therefore, in the negative.
