§ 46. Mr. Edward Evansasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that a barrier of timber and steel was erected across Black Horse Dyke, leading from the River Bure to Hoveton Little Broad, on the Norfolk Broads, between 16th February and 11th March, 1949, particulars of which have been sent to him; how much timber was used in this operation; what kind of timber was used; where it was obtained; and whether a licence was issued for the use of this timber for the purpose of the erection of this barrier.
§ Mr. J. EdwardsNo timber licence has been issued in connection with the operation referred to; but I am making inquiries and will write to my hon. Friend when they are completed.
§ Brigadier MedlicottIs the Parliamentary Secretary aware that we in Norfolk would like to have an opportunity of dealing with the Broads ourselves without quite so much assistance from Lowestoft?
§ Mr. EdwardsThat is an entirely different matter.
