HC Deb 12 March 1889 vol 333 c1497
MR. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether, after the experience of last week's floods, the Government are now prepared to encourage the newly-formed County Councils to establish a system of telegraphic storm warnings from the upper reaches of rivers to the low-lying districts below?

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. LONG,) Wilts, Devizes

The Government are prepared to consider any representation which may be made by any County Council on the subject referred to.
