22. Lieut.-Colonel BELLasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the military authorities are refusing to allow the Highworth Rural District Council to obtain water for their new houses at Chiseldon from the Chiseldon camp water supply, although they had previously agreed to do so; that this action is delaying the council's housing scheme at Chiseldon and will, if persisted in, involve the district in great additional expense, part of whch will fall on the 1684 War Department as ratepayers in respect of Chiseldon Camp; and if he will cause inquiries to be made into the matter?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONCertain negotiations regarding the size of the connection have been necessary in order to safeguard the water supply to the camp. An agreement has now been reached on the matter.
