HC Deb 28 July 1937 vol 326 c3111W
Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Agriculture what further measures have been taken by the Ouse catchment board to limit the danger of flooding in the Bentley area, Doncaster?

Mr. Ramsbotham

I have been asked to reply. The comprehensive scheme for the River Don, which was begun by the Ouse Catchment Board in March, 1934, has been proceeding steadily and satisfactorily ever since. It will, however, as I think the hon. Member realises, take some years to complete.
