§ Mr. Wellbelovedasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what extra height he at present estimates is needed to add to riparian banks and walls downstream of the proposed Thames flood barrier.
§ Mr. MackieWhere a high standard of protection is justified walls would need to be raised from between 3 and 6 ft. depending upon the standard of existing defences, the position on the river and the form of construction. The defences would have to be constructed with full regard to the riparian usage of the river frontage and with the maximum possible regard to amenities.
