Land Drainage Report (Consultations)

37.

Mr. C. Hughes
asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has now completed his consultations in connection with the Report of the Land Drainage Legislative Sub-Committee of the Central Advisory Water Committee, the Heneage Report; and if he will make a statement.

Sir T. Dugdale
Initial consultations have recently been completed, but further discussions may be necessary. In view of the nature and importance of some of the issues involved, I do not expect to be in a position to make a statement for some time.
