HC Deb 04 February 1980 vol 978 c9W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what response he has made, following his hon. Friend's letter to the chairman of Alnwick district council of 30 July 1979, to the council's appeal in respect of repairs to the Amble north pier breakwater, for which a joint scheme had been agreed before he decided to abandon the Amble dock project.

Mr. Speed

Responsibility for negotiations in respect of the repairs to the Amble north pier breakwater rests with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment.
