§ 20. Sir GIFFORD FOXasked the Minister of Health if he has any information as to the number of villages in Great 1903 Britain which have no proper water supply; and, if not, whether he will make arrangements to obtain such information?
Sir H. YOUNGThis information is gradually being accumulated by my officers in the course of their work. A special investigation, comprehensive enough to be of value, would cost an amount of public money not to be justified by any advantage in comparison with the regular work now in progress. I propose issuing a circular shortly on rural water supplies.
