HC Deb 17 February 1879 vol 243 c1306
MR. ARTHUR PEEL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to deal this Session with the question of River Conservancy and the Prevention of Floods; and, if so, whether by a separate measure distinct from the County Boards Bill?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

, in reply, said, that the Lord President would before long introduce in the other House a measure dealing with the question referred to by the hon. Gentleman. It would be quite distinct from any measure relating to County Boards.
