§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the amendments that have been made to date to the Doncaster Area Drainage Act 1929; what consideration is given to a new Act; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JackI have been asked to reply.
I am advised that most of the Doncaster Area Drainage Act 1929 was repealed by the Doncaster Area Drainage Act 1933. The other amendments known to have been made before 1974 are set out in the "Chronological Table of Local Acts", published in 1985 by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission. The "Chronological Table of Acts of Parliament"—1992 edition—shows no specific amendments since 1974, but there will, of course, have been changes made by public general legislation. I am not aware of any new private Bill being prepared.
