asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is making any grant to the North Norfolk Catchment Area Board for work at or near Fakenham; and, if so, whether any conditions are attached relating to the terms on which labour is to be employed?

A grant is being made to the North Norfolk Rivers Catchment Board in respect of sea defence work designed to restore a breach recently made in a shingle bank, and otherwise to strengthen the sea defences in the neighbourhood of Snettisham. The conditions governing labour employed upon this and all other schemes grant-aided under Section 55 of the Land Drainage Act, 1930, are shown in a printed memorandum of conditions attaching to these grants, of which I am sending my right hon. Friend a copy.
