§ Captain Yorkasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will take steps to minimise the damage which is being done by Government contractors laying pipelines and doing other work across agricultural land, in that they break field drainage lines and replace the pipes in such a way that the water cannot continue to flow down the pipes?
Mr. HudsonVery few instances of damage of the kind which my hon. Friend describes have come to my notice, but if he will send me particulars of cases known to him I will look into them.
