§ 73. Mr. Leachasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will say, for the convenience of internal drainage boards, what are his intentions in regard to grants; and whether the regulations affecting them are the same as last year?
§ The Minister of Pensions (Mr. Ramsbotham)I have been asked to reply. It is intended that grants shall be available to assist schemes submitted by drainage authorities other than catchment boards substantially on the same conditions as those applicable to schemes approved during the season 1937–38. My right hon. Friend hopes very shortly to issue circular letters to the authorities concerned.
