44. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will have inquiries made in connection with the flooding of some acres of rich pasture-land at Moors Farm, Upton Warren, Bromsgrove, which has been caused by a Government drain laid a century ago, with a view to preventing a recurrence of this flooding?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI am arranging for inquiries to be made, and will acquaint my hon. Friend with the result.
Mr. De la BèreWill my right hon. Friend take the matter up with the Prudential Insurance Company, who are the owners of these properties?
§ Mr. MorrisonThat is another question. I had not heard of this matter until the question was put on the Order Paper, but I will make full inquiries and communicate with my hon. Friend.
