HC Deb 01 December 1970 vol 807 cc336-7W
Mr. Mather

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on flood alleviation measures for the River Wey.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The Thames Conservancy as the responsible land drainage authority have prepared outline schemes to give protection to Guildford and the lower Wey Valley. These schemes, which are both complex and costly, are under consideration by my Department for grant purposes and we expect to be in touch with the Thames Conservancy about them shortly.
