HC Deb 27 February 1947 vol 433 cc339-40W
141. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Agriculture what special precautions have been taken to avoid serious damage from flooding in the event of a quick thaw.

Mr. Collick

Beyond the normal precautions which experience has shown to be necessary, such as the employment by catchment boards of special patrols equipped to take emergency action, no special measures are practicable.
