HC Deb 28 January 1943 vol 386 c634W
Colonel Macnamara

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether during the present and coming months, he proposes to note the incidence of flooding in low-lying rural areas with the object of putting in hand, during the rest of the year, emergency anti-flooding provisions so as to ensure greater cultivation in 1943?

Mr. Hudson

This is a matter for the statutory drainage authorities, but I do all I can to see that work essential to food production is carried out.
