§ 108. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that three times in recent months the Wealdstone Brook has overflowed its banks and flooded not only the gardens but the foundations, flooring and drains of houses in Brook Avenue, Wembley; and, in view of the danger to health and to the structure of the houses, the damage to gardens, and the discomfort and anxiety to the occupants, if he will put into effect immediately plans already made for remedying this defect.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe execution of remedial works in the area in question is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Middlesex County Council. It has had my agreement to its scheme, and I understand that it will be reviewing this part of its works programme at its next meeting.
