§ 63. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the dissatisfaction and sense of injustice felt by many people in north Lincolnshire over the drainage rate; and if he will make a statement on the correspondence sent to him from Immingham.
Mr. AmoryI am aware that there is some dissatisfaction about drainage rates in the North-East Lindsey drainage district. I have had no recent correspondence on this subject from the Immingham area, but I understand that the parish council have recently written to the Lincolnshire River Board, with whom the initiative rests for any alteration of the boundary of the drainage district.
