HC Deb 19 August 1895 vol 36 c254
MR. WOOTTON ISAACSON (Tower Hamlets, Stepney)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has made any arrangements with the East London Water Company with regard to reverting to the constant service system, with a view of preventing an increase of the disease and sickness which is so prevalent at the present time?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. H. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

I understand that the Company have now extended the hours of supply from about six in the morning until about five in the afternoon daily, thus giving a continuous supply of 11 hours. In reply to the other part of my hon. Friend's question, I am much obliged to him for his courtesy in giving me ample notice of his intention. But I do not think there is anything I can add to the statement which I made in reply to another question on Friday last.
