SEA-COAST EROSION
EARLY MEASURE FOR BRITISH PARLIAMENT UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. 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, Mr. W. Graham, has this in hand. The Bill is founded on the report of the Royal Commission which examined the question of coast erosion before the war. Its main purpose is to set up ad hoc bodies representative of the local authorities in whose territories encroachment by the sea is taking place. These new authorities will be enabled 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.
