. COAST PROTECTION BILL. RUGBY, September 20

One of the first measures which will be introduced on the reassembling of Parliament is the Coast Protection Bill. The President of the Board of Trade has this in hand.

The Bill is founded on the report of a Royal Commission which examined the question of coast before the war. Its main purpose is to set up bodies representative of th'e local authorities on whose territories encroachment by the sea is taking place. These neftv authorities will be able to concert schemes to prevent erosion over wide areas. The Bill itself will not make provision for any money to assist in the work, but it may be taken as one part of'the Government’s plan for the relief of unemployment.
