HC Deb 15 March 1989 vol 149 cc250-1W
Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the names of those internal drainage boards which are not covered by the constitutional and electoral arrangements contained in schedule 2 to the Land Drainage Act 1976, by virtue of the fact that they were constituted before 1930; and what steps have been taken to apply schedule 2 electoral arrangements to these boards.

Mr. Ryder

The following internal drainage boards are not considered to be covered by the constitutional and electoral arrangements in schedule 2 to the Land Drainage Act 1976:

  • Othery, Middlezoy and Westonzoyland
  • Lower Axe
  • Lower Brue
  • Stockland
  • Upper Axe
  • Upper Brue
  • West Sedgemoor
  • Bridgwater and Pawlett
  • Cannington and Wembdon
  • King Sedgemoor and Carey Valley
  • Langport

Information was last provided in 1985. Since then, one internal drainage board has been abolished and another, Wilberfoss and Thornton Level, is currently being reconstituted.
