§ Q8. Dr. Marshallasked the Prime Minister whether he is satisfied with the co-ordination between the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State for the Environment on the provision of public funds for drainage of residential areas; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir.
§ Dr. MarshallIs it not time that there was in this country a full administrative integration of drainage services in the same way as is now proposed for water services?
§ The Prime MinisterThe hon. Gentle. man may wish to argue this case. I have not seen convincing arguments that such a measure ought to be introduced. But if it should prove to be so, I am perfectly prepared to consider it. At present I do not see the evidence for it.
