Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the total cost to local authorities in the Severn Valley in England in dealing with the floods in the Valley in the month of December 1965.

Mr. MacColl

I regret the information is not available to me.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will give an estimate of the cost of putting right the damage caused to private and public property, excluding agricultural property, in the Severn Valley in England, by the recent floods in the month of December 1965.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend has no facts upon which he could base an estimate.
