HC Deb 16 February 1960 vol 617 c108W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made to date with the Great Ouse Flood Protection Scheme.

Mr. John Hare

As my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Secretary stated in reply to the hon. Member on the 9th November last, Part I of the scheme is complete and I expect Part II of the scheme to be finished by the end of 1961. Tenders for Part III, the Cut-Off Channel, will be opened early next month and work will start shortly afterwards.
