§ Mr. WELLSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the recent Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the drainage of the Ouse, he proposes to introduce legislation to amend the Ouse Drainage Act during the present Session
Mr. GUINNESSAs a necessary preliminary to dealing with the River Ouse, the Commission have made recommendations for the wholesale amendment of the present law relating to land drainage. I am afraid, therefore, that it will not be possible to proceed with the matter during the present Session. The whole question, however, is engaging my closest attention.
