Since the spring floods, the catchment boards and other drainage authorities concerned have carried out a heavy programme of rehabilitation work and also an appreciable measure of improvement work. The River Great Ouse Catchment Board's flood prevention scheme has been reconsidered by the Board and modified in the light of revised data obtained in this year's flood. The scheme as a whole, I understand, will be the subject of a Private Bill to be promoted by the Board. The River Welland Catchment Board is proceeding with a major scheme of works which will reduce the risk of flooding over an important area.
