Overflow of the River Riffey.

HC Deb 13 April 1905 vol 145 cc87-8

MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has yet caused any memorial to be prepared for the formation of a drainage board for the district of Cam and Clonwhelan, in which periodic floodings occur owing to the overflow of the River Riffey; and, if not, can he indicate the nature of the steps which should now be taken to get this board set up.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I would refer the hon. Member to the full Answer I gave to his Question on this subject on February 28th†. The persons desiring to form a drainage district will be informed † See (4) Debates cxli., 1490. of the proper steps to be taken application to the Board of Works.
