HC Deb 10 July 1930 vol 241 cc615-6
66. Mr. MALONE

asked the Minister of Health the result of the recent inquiries made by Mr. A. E. Marshall, one of the Ministry of Health's engineering inspectors, on 25th June, concerning the Northampton waterworks scheme, and on 27th June concerning the new Northampton sewerage scheme?

Mr. GREENWOOD

No waterworks scheme has been submitted by the Northampton Town Council. Mr. Marshall's visit was for the purpose of discussing certain proposals outlined by the council's waterworks engineer for supplying Northampton and other towns in the Midlands with water from Wales. The scheme of sewerage and sewage disposal which formed the subject of Mr. Marshall's inquiry on the 27th ultimo requires a good deal of further consideration, but no time will be lost in dealing with it.
