HC Deb 16 December 1919 vol 123 cc261-2W
Lieut. - Colonel MALONE

asked the Minister of Health whether any engineering inspection has been made with regard to the flooding in the Lea Valley as was promised; and whether, if any official report has been received, any action has been taken?

Dr. ADDISON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. It has now been agreed that the Lee Conservancy Board should promote a Bill next Session enabling them to formulate a scheme, or schemes, for dealing with the whole watershed with a view to the prevention of flooding.
