HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 cc1902-3
20. Sir GIFFORD FOX

asked the Minister of Health if he has any information as to the number of villages in Great Britain which have no proper water supply; and, if not, whether he will make arrangements to obtain such information?

Sir H. YOUNG

This 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.
