§ Sir W. JENKINSasked the Minister of Labour whether he will direct the Commissioner for distressed areas to consider the advisability of finding employment for unemployed persons in cleaning the Neath river from the sea shore, to make the river navigable, as hitherto, up to the Neath river bridge, thereby draining a considerable area of land suitable for erection of works; and whether he is aware that it is within easy reach of the Bristol Channel and the Great Western Railway main line?
§ Mr. E. BROWNI understand that my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture is in communication with the Mid-Glamorgan Rivers Catchment Board in the matter, as promised in his reply of 17th February.
