A letter was received in my Department on 31st August last from a representative of the Lennon drainage committee but it did not contain a request to me to receive a deputation. The relief of flooding caused by rivers like the Lennon is work which is not the function of my Department and the committee's representative was informed to this effect in a reply sent on 30th September, 1954.
