HC Deb 01 July 1937 vol 325 cc2150-1
57. Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has communicated with the Glamorgan Catchment Board about the serious state of the Ogmore river; and what action is proposed to remedy the matter?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Yes, Sir, I brought the hon. Member's question of 7th June to the notice of the Catchment Board, but I have so far received no indication of the action they propose to take in the matter.

Mr. Williams

Will the right hon. Gentleman have further inquiries made about this matter in order that measures to deal with it may be expedited?

Mr. Morrison

I will keep the matter under review and do what I can to help, but it is primarily a question for the Catchment Board.

Mr. Williams

Would the right hon. Gentlemen be prepared to give some financial help to the Catchment Board in this matter?

Mr. Morrison

That is a different question.
