§ Mr. WELLSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he proposes to mike a new survey of the Ouse drainage district to ascertain the lands above the 8-feet level; whether this will be extended to area A; and whether it. is intended to retain area A within the Ouse drainage district?
§ Sir H. BARNSTONMy right hon. Friend has not had under consideration any such general survey as is mentioned in the hon. Member's question, but only such a survey as may be required to ascertain the lands which were through inadvertence included in the district by the Order of 1920. Even if the survey should be extended to area A it will not indicate any intention to retain area A under the jurisdiction of the present Drainage Board.
