§ 81. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Agriculture if he is satisfied that permanent repairs to sea defences, which must replace the temporary sand-bagging, will be completed before the high tides are due next autumn.
§ Sir T. DugdaleI am satisfied that the most effective measures have been, and are being, devised and that these are being executed with the utmost energy. But bad weather, particularly if it coincided with a high spring tide, might set the programme back many weeks.
