§ Mr. MILLARasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been directed to the practice of dumping colliery redd on the foreshore and in the sea and thus creating obstacles to navigation and the silting up of harbour entrances; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMOnly one instance of the kind has been brought to my notice. In that case, after full inquiry, it was not considered that action to prevent the deposit could usefully be taken at present, but the situation is kept under observation.
