I am not familiar with the exact details or whether my hon. Friend is describing the facts at all accurately. I understand that the award for the destruction of this property, which was Government property, was made to the Free State Government on condition of rebuilding. The Free State Government say that there is no point in rebuilding, and that they do not require this coastguard station, and therefore the compensation lapses altogether and no money passes.
