§ Mr. Ovendenasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what, in cash terms, are the contributions to be made by frontagers towards flood prevention works in Kent and in Essex.
§ Mr. BishopAs I told my hon. Friend on 15th January, the amount of any contribution from frontagers is a matter for negotiation between the frontager and the appropriate water authority. I understand that few settlements have so far been reached.
