HC Deb 12 February 1929 vol 225 cc223-4
50. Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been called to the large amount of land which might be reclaimed from the river Humber, in the East Riding of Yorkshire; whether he has received any notification of this from the East Riding County Council; and what action he is prepared to take in the matter?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply I gave to the question on the same subject which was put to me yesterday by the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy).

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any indication when the Bill for the special drainage of this area is likely to be introduced?

Mr. GUINNESS

I think very shortly.
