HC Deb 28 March 1934 vol 287 c1989W
Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the fact that the Air Ministry is negotiating to take over foreshore rights from the Board of Trade North of Maplethorpe, he will indicate the southern limit and give an assurance that none of the foreshore rights that are the subject of negotiation will be taken over in front of the Maplethorpe town-planning area?

Sir P. SASSOON

I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that only a negligible fraction of the foreshore at its northern extremity is likely to be affected by the Air Ministry proposals. The outer boundary of the contemplated range area crosses the high-water line some 200 feet within the northern limit of the town-planning area.
