HC Deb 16 July 1929 vol 230 c196
12. Mr. RAYNES

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is prepared to consider schemes for the reclamation of flooded areas in cases where the condition of the land is hindering industrial development; is he aware that such an area, extending to over 1,000 acres, exists in and adjoining the borough of Derby; and will he give favourable consideration to a scheme for the reclamation of this area?

Mr. THOMAS

I am well aware of the scheme to which my hon. Friend refers, and suggest that the local authority concerned should take the necessary steps to submit full particulars to me so that the matter may have immediate attention.
