HC Deb 11 September 1941 vol 374 cc300-1
55. Captain Sir Ian Fraser

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received the names of persons recommended for membership of the Catchment Board for the North Lonsdale Rivers; whether he has approved of these names; and whether he will overcome, or circumvent, all statutory or formal delays and set this board up at once, so that work may be started without delay before the heavy rains and the frosts, with a view to preparing much derelict land for cultivation for next season?

Mr. Hudson

The appointment of members of the North Lonsdale Rivers Catchment Board has now been completed, and the first meeting of the board will be held on the 25th of this month.
