HC Deb 24 September 1931 vol 256 c1828W
Mr. WOMERSLEY

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that rates on account of expenditure incurred under the Land Drainage Act, 1930, are being levied on occupiers of land which in no way benefits by the drainage operations in question; and whether he proposes to issue any instructions to local authorities with regard to this matter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have been asked to reply. If my hon. Friend knows of any case where rates under the Land Drainage Act, 1930, are being levied by drainage authorities on persons not liable under the terms of the Statute, I shall be glad if he will let me have particulars.
