HC Deb 21 October 1946 vol 427 c285W
73. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the recent floods, he will state who is responsible for the care and maintenance of weirs on rivers served by catchment boards.

Mr. T. Williams

The responsibility for the repair and maintenance of a privately owned weir on the main river of a catchment board rests with the owner of the weir. If the weir were the property of the catchment board the board would be responsible.
