HC Deb 09 April 1930 vol 237 c2192W
Sir D. NEWTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Hundred Foot and the Old West River from Ely to Denver Sluice will both be classified as main channels under the new Drainage Bill?

Mr. N. BUXTON

It will be the duty of the Minister, if Parliament approves the Land Drainage Bill, to have prepared for each catchment area a map giving particulars including those indicated by the hon. Member. I do not think it would be either practicable or desirable for me to make any announcement of these particulars at the present stage with regard to any of the catchment areas.
