My right hon. Friend is informed that a break occurred on 31st January in the right bank of the Soham Lode and a certain amount of flooding took place. The flood water has, however, been evacuated by pumping and steps are being taken to close the breach. In other parts of the South Level area the position was critical for some days, but water levels are now falling and I understand that the catchment board are satisfied that the situation is well in hand. Since March, 1937, schemes for the River Great Ouse Catchment Board, estimated to cost nearly £2,000,000, have been approved in principle for a Government grant of 75 per cent. With regard to the last part of the question, I understand that the catchment board are considering what further capital works are required, but until further proposals are submitted to my right hon. Friend, it is obviously impossible to say whether they will commend themselves to him. The catchment board are aware that any further scheme of a substantial character will, if approved, qualify for a grant of 75 per cent.
