§ Sir W. Robson Brownasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will review the Government's present contribution to flood relief funds, with particular reference to the Molesey area of Esher.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI see no reason to review the Government's contribution which, having regard to the scale of uninsured losses and the level of voluntary contributions, was an appropriate one. Esher's share of the £175,000 made available by the Government was £47,460. The disbursement of the funds available to the Esher Flood Relief Fund was a matter for the trustees of that fund.
