§ Squadron-Leader Kinghornasked the Minister of Transport whether he will continue to act as Manager of Crown foreshore now that his functions in relation to the protection of the coast against erosion have been transferred to other Departments.
§ Mr. BarnesMy duties as Manager of part of the Crown foreshore and river and seabed are now being undertaken on an agency basis by the Commissioners of Crown Lands, who already act in that capacity in respect of other Crown foreshore. My consent in the interests of navigation should, however, continue to be sought to the construction of any work which will extend below high water mark of ordinary spring tides.
