§ MR. F. PARKER (Oxfordshire, Henley)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in cases where ponds have been set aside for the water supply of parishes in enclosure awards and Parish Councils decide to utilise these ponds for drinking water, the Councils have any and what power to prevent traction engines entering, fouling, and taking water from such ponds; and, if they have no power, whether County Councils have power to make bye-laws to regulate the conduct of traction engines with regard to such ponds?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREI am not aware that either a Parish Council or a County Council have any power in the matter referred to.
