§ 41. Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the criticism of the proposals for the reorganisation of land drainage on the grounds that there has been insufficient consultation, and that too little account will be taken of local knowledge, if he will defer any major reorganisation until sufficient time has been given to take into account all criticisms from the viewpoint of land drainage and fisheries.
§ Mr. Peter MillsA decision on the future organisation of land drainage and fisheries has already been deferred for several months, though my right hon. Friend is satisfied that his consultations have been fully adequate.
