HC Deb 27 July 1927 vol 209 cc1245-6
34. Mr. DUNCAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received complaints as to the shortage of water supplies in the area of the Blackwell Rural Council of Derbyshire; whether an inspector from his Department has already investigated the matter; whether any Report has yet been issued covering the question; and, if so, what is the nature of such Report?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Complaints have been received and an investigation has been made. It is not proposed to publish any Report; what is required is to devise means of augmenting the water supply, and I am seeing what measures can be taken to this end.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Has the right hon. Gentleman's Department considered the advisability of the national collection of this water?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is rather too large a question to be dealt with now.
