HC Deb 02 October 1941 vol 374 cc753-4W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the differences of authoritative opinion on the subject of the proposed Hampshire Rivers Catchment Board, he will accede to the suggestion of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England for a public inquiry?

Mr. Hudson

Objections have been lodged under the procedure provided by the Land Drainage Act, 1930, to the proposal put forward by the Hants County Council for a Hampshire Rivers Catchment Board. I am therefore arranging for a public inquiry to be held as provided for under the Act.
