HC Deb 25 July 1962 vol 663 c1465
15. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the Government moneys involved, how far work has progressed on the new out from the Lark to Denver sluice; and when he expects it to be completed.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Excellent progress continues to be made on the cut-off channel, and the contractors are well ahead of schedule. At the present rate of progress, and provided no unforeseen difficulties occur, it is expected that the channel will be completed by the end of 1963.
