He was shocked to hear that the Minister proposed to introduce an amendment in committee to restore the provision that the representation of county councils and borough councils should not be less than three-fifths of any River Board. There were about 1,000.000 anglers in Great Britain, and if their rights were preserved they would become unpaid, unofficial wardens of the waterways for they would notice pollution quicker than anyone else. Mr.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS (Minister of Agriculture) said 1,600 pollution authorities were far too many. Pollution, drainage, and fisheries should come under the control of one authority, which the bill set out to do, and it was hoped a unified policy would be developed.

Working as a Team The composition of the boards raised certain controversial issues and the principle on which the Government had formed their framework was that they should be smail enough to be manageable and yet large enough to enable an area to be adequately covered.
