HC Deb 10 July 1952 vol 503 c107W
64. Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has considered taking steps to reclaim agricultural land, now under water, as the result of mining subsidence.

Sir T. Dugdale

Bearing in mind that the resources available for work of this character are strictly limited, I feel that they can best be used under present conditions for increasing production from land which will respond more readily, and at much lower cost, than the type of land referred to by the hon. Member.
