§ 36. Rear-Admiral BEAMISHasked the Minister of Health whether in view of the increasing requirements during recent years of water (other than potable) per head of the population and the inceasing expenditure of water by reason of changing habits and improved facilities, he will call the attention of public authorities and private undertakings to the need of making provision for further supplies?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am constantly in touch with water undertakers in all parts of the country, and the need of making provision ahead of demand is generally appreciated. In this connection, I recently issued a booklet on the advantage of advisory regional water committees. I do not think that a special circular on the general subject is required at the moment.
