HC Deb 15 May 1939 vol 347 c1012W
Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the work of cleaning the River Ogmore has been finished; and, if not, the mileage proposed to do and the mileage completed to date?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

The scheme of improvement works on the River Ogmore approved for a grant under the Land Drainage Act, 1930, has not yet been completed. As my predecessor indicated in reply to the question asked by the hon. Member on 21st November last, the scheme covers a total length of eight miles; of this, 2¾ miles has been completed with the exception of certain alterations to a weir.
