HC Deb 27 October 1932 vol 269 cc1169-70W
Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will investigate the restrictions which have been placed on public landing on the foreshore on Shell Bay in Poole Harbour?

Dr. BURGIN

The foreshore at Shell Bay, Poole Harbour, is not the property of the Crown, and I am not aware that any restrictions have been placed on the exercise by the public thereover of any rights lawfully existing as incidental to navigation and fishing. These are the only public rights over foreshore in private ownership with which the Board of Trade is concerned.
