49. Mr. ROBINSONasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to the frequent curtailing of the supply of water by the Metropolitan Water Board to that part of the Urban District of Mitcham in the vicinity of Streatham Road, more particularly on Sunday; and, having regard to the increased charges, if he will make representations to the Board that the water should be in continuous supply?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I am informed that the Water Board do not know of any curtailing of supply in this area, apart from temporary reductions in pressure due to repairs and the like. If particulars of any reduction of supplies are forwarded to the Water Board, they will investigate the matter.
