<p>My Department does not hold the specific information requested. Acts of Parliament
are a matter of public record and can be found by consulting a legal journal such
as Halsbury’s Statutes. Details of any 19th century pier companies, created by local
Acts of Parliament, that are still in existence may be found by consulting the online
search register at Companies House at <a href="http://companieshouse.gov.uk/" target="_blank">http://companieshouse.gov.uk/</a></p><p>
</p><p>According to the National Piers Society, there are 58 surviving piers in the
United Kingdom of which 33 are in private sector ownership, 21 are owned by local
authorities and 4 are in community or other ownership.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
