§ 76. Mr. Odeyasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can now make payment of the compensation for loss of office awarded to Mr. F. J. Affleck, the Surveyor to Her Majesty's Commission of Sewers for the East Part of the East Riding of Yorkshire. on 13th August, 1942.
§ Sir T. DugdaleNo. The Commissioners who voted this compensation had no funds out of which payment could be made. It is intended that their area should be wholly included in new drainage districts. Some have been constituted and the Hull and East Yorkshire River Board is preparing further proposals. When all the boards have been constituted the assets and liabilities of the Commissioners will be apportioned between them and it will be for the new board to consider whether this particular liability is one that they should accept.
