HC Deb 18 July 1974 vol 877 c217W
39. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the average annual cost to public funds since 1950, when the Government assumed responsibility for it, of maintaining the Braye Harbour breakwater in Alderney; and whether the expenditure will now be terminated in view of the budget surplus accumulated by Alderney.

Dr. Summerskill

About £41,000 up to 1973–74. In answer to the second part of the Question, I am considering the position in the light of present circumstances.
