Lords Debate on Sandwich Drainage Bill Ends in Commitment
In the House of Lords on Friday the second reading of the Drainage Bill prompted Lord Dupey to move for commitment. He argued the project would help reclaim 7900 acres by managing river overflows, while criticizing arguments that landowners acted against their own interests. Other peers, including Lords Suffolk Denbigh and Lyttelton, spoke for and against, noting Sandwich’s historic status and revenue from duties. The vote favored commitment with 34 to 12.
