HC Deb 06 August 1925 vol 187 c1577W
Sir T. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can now announce the policy of the Government with regard to grants for drainage purposes; and, if such grants are to be continued, what amounts will be available yearly and for how many years will they be continued?

Mr. WOOD

The Government propose to continue during the coming winter, grants for land drainage on the same basis as heretofore, and I am preparing a programme for an expenditure of £200,000 a year on land drainage during the five years commencing 1926–27.
