HC Deb 06 December 1939 vol 355 c685W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there has recently been an acute shortage of water supply for the inhabitants of Grange-over-Sands; whether any qualified water engineer has been asked by the local authority to advise on this shortage; and whether that authority is adopting his recommendations?

Mr. Elliot

I have received complaints and one of my inspectors has investigated the matter locally. A normal supply is now being given. I propose forthwith to communicate with the local authority on the question of permanently improving their supply. I am not aware that they have yet appointed a consulting engineer.
