HC Deb 02 December 1963 vol 685 c128W
68. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when it is expected to complete the work on Part III of the Great Ouse flood protection scheme.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

The excavation of the Cut-off-Channel, which comprises Part III of the Great Ouse Flood Protection Scheme, is now complete. Sections of the embankments still have to be finished off and this should be done by mid-1964. Some local drainage remodelling remains to be done.
