§ 28. Mr. Marksasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will send a circular to local authorities drawing their attention to the desirability of advising their citizens of the need to insure against flood damage.
§ Mr. GreenwoodNo. I fully agree, however, as I said in reply to the hon. Members for Southend, West (Mr. Channon) and Horsham (Mr. Hordern) on 17th December, that it is most desirable that citizens should be advised of the need to insure against flood damage and, if a suitable occasion arises, I will consider advising local authorities to draw the attention of their own tenants to this.—[Vol. 775, c.313–14.]
