HC Deb 23 October 1941 vol 374 c1923W
Sir Granville Gibson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will afford facilities at the docks of a seaport, of which he has been informed, to raise a sloop foundered in shallow water, so that it can be used in the national war effort?

Colonel Llewellin

The responsibility for raising the small craft, to which my hon. Friend refers, rests upon the owner, and notice has been served upon him by the port authority to remove it. As this notice has not been complied with, steps are being taken for removal at the owner's expense.
