§ Mr. Tudor Watkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will request the Wye River Authority to expedite the flood prevention scheme above the Rhayader bridge in order that industrialists may use the old Drill Hall without the danger of floods and inconvenience to neighbouring properties.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThis section of the River Wye is not a statutory main river under the control of the Wye River Authority. The authority has not, therefore, prepared proposals to deal with this problem. The local authorities may at their discretion undertake flood protection works under their land drainage powers.
