HC Deb 14 December 1933 vol 284 c563W
Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Minister of Agriculture, with reference to the recent public inquiry as to a catchment area in North Lincolnshire, what action is now proposed to be taken; whether he proposes to make any alteration in the existing drainage boards; and how the area from Saltfleet Haven to Tetney Haven is proposed to be dealt with?

Mr. ELLIOT

The resumption of the public inquiry to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers was postponed at the request of the Lindsey County Council, and I understand that the council propose to invite the Commissioners of Sewers within the North-East Lincolnshire area and the Tetney Commissioners to confer with them with a view to the formulation, if possible, of an agreed scheme for the reorganisation of the present land drainage authorities within the area. Before taking any further steps in the matter, I propose to await the result of this conference.
