§ 14. Mr. Kimballasked the Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the flooding in the Stourton by Stow parish of the County of Lincoln, parts of Lindsey, which was caused by the drainage from Scampton Aerodrome; and what action he proposes to take to remedy this defect in the drainage system.
§ Mr. C. I. Orr-EwingScampton airfield is on the other side of the watershed from Stourton by Stow and the rest of the area flooded by the recent overflow of the River Till. The only drainage which enters the river from the airfield is the outfall pumped into the River Cricket Till from the station sewage system. This has not increased in recent weeks and could not in any event have accounted for the recent extensive flooding.
