HC Deb 11 July 1967 vol 750 c47W
59. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that public rights to Her Majesty's foreshore at Brighton are being infringed without statutory or other legitimate authority; and what steps he has taken or plans to take to maintain the rights of the public and of the Crown there.

Mr. Diamond

The foreshore at Brighton is owned by Brighton Corporation who bought it from the Crown many years ago. Any alleged infringement of public rights is a matter for the Corporation.
