HC Deb 21 December 1933 vol 284 c1498W
Sir W. JENKINS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether any grant has yet been made towards catchment boards under Section 55 of the Land Drainage Act; and, if so, to what amount?

Mr. ELLIOT

Grants to catchment boards under Section 55 of the Land Drainage Act, 1930, have been approved to an estimated total of £165,000. The greater part of this amount will, however, be payable in the form of a contribution towards loan charges over a number of years.
