104. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give immediate assent to the proposition of Worcestershire County Council to execute drainage works in the catchment area of the Carrant Brook in and around Beckford, near Tewkesbury, in the parliamentary constituency of South Worcestershire, with a view to the prevention of further flooding over a length of three miles of the brook, from Beckford to Ashton-on-Carrant, with grant-aid, and subject to the execution of the works early in 1973.

Mrs. Fenner

Worcestershire County Council's scheme for the improvement of the Carrant Brook was approved for grant aid on 28th November 1972. I understand that the work is programmed to start in March 1973.
