HC Deb 21 March 1899 vol 68 c1558
MR. CORNWALLIS (Maidstone)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will introduce a Bill dealing with the protection of water supplies before Easter; and, if not before Easter, at an early date after the holidays?

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

I answered a similar Question only a few days ago. I cannot undertake to introduce a Bill dealing with the protection of water supplies before Easter, but I shall be quite ready to do so afterwards as soon as I see any reasonable hope of making progress with it.
