HC Deb 25 July 1923 vol 167 cc485-6W
Mr. T. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the amount of unemployment anticipated in agricultural districts during the ensuing autumn and winter, he will state, before the House adjourns next week, what steps he will take by promoting land drainage and water supply schemes to provide employment.

Sir R. SANDERS

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to a similar question addressed to me by the hon. Member for Chippenham (Mr. Bonwick) on Monday last.
