HC Deb 31 March 1947 vol 435 c253W
60. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will investigate the complaints of the North Somercoates Parish Council over the high rates levied by the Louth Drainage Board, as contained in the correspondence sent to him, and take steps to reduce the rates.

Mr. T. Williams

I have not received the correspondence but I am prepared to look into any complaints on receipt of particulars. As regards the latter part of the Question, I have no power to alter the rates levied by a drainage authority.
