§ 73. Mr. Odeyasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will now indicate when the Hull and East Yorkshire River Board will submit a scheme, as they are required to do, under Section 4 (1) (b) of the Land Drainage Act, 1930, for the abolition of the Commissioners of Sewers in their area, and so enable the debts owing by the Commissioners, which have been outstanding for 24 years, to be discharged.
§ Mr. NugentThe Hull and East Yorkshire River Board cannot submit a scheme for the abolition of the Commissioners of Sewers in their area until internal drainage districts have been set up for the area administered by the Commissioners. I understand that the last two schemes under Section 4 (1) (b) of the Land Drainage Act, 1930, setting up these districts are likely to be made available by the River Board for inspection later this year.
