§ Mr. T. WILLIAMS (by Private Notice)asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has any information as to the condition in the Bentley and Lower Don area regarding floods and, if so, what steps have been taken to warn local residents of the impending danger?
§ Major ELLIOTI have been in telephonic communication with the Clerk of the Doncaster Drainage Board, and am informed that, although the River Don rose yesterday, there is still a considerable margin, and there is no danger at present of any floods in the Bentley and Arksey area. I was assured that should any danger arise the Drainage Board would at once notify the local authorities interested and warn them of any impending danger.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSIn case the Don should rise to the danger point, may I 189 ask whether the wireless can be used as a means of warning the residents of the danger?
§ Major ELLIOTI will keep any suggestion of that kind in mind.
