HC Deb 09 November 1936 vol 317 c500
43. Mr. QUIBELL

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps, if any, he proposes to take in order to remove the unfair incidences of rating under the Land Drainage Act?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

As indicated in the reply given to a question on the subject to my hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln (Mr. Liddall) on 18th May last, provisions exist in the Act referred to for dealing with hardships that may arise from possible inequalities in rating for land drainage purposes, and I could not undertake to introduce new legislation at the present time.
