asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list for each regional and local land drainage committee in England and Wales the present members, the names of those bodies who appointed them and whom they represent, and their occupation or profession.

I am unable to reply at present. Most of the information on appointments to regional and local land drainage committees is held by the 10 water authorities in England and Wales. I shall ask them for the details requested and write to my hon. Friend in due course.
