§ 21. Mr. CHORLTONasked the Minister of Health how the work of the advisory water supply committees in Lancashire and Cheshire is progressing, how many meetings have been held, and whether any proposals have been submitted to him?
Sir H. YOUNGThe two new committees have met once and have appointed sub-committees who are investigating needs and resources. This will necessarily involve much work and take time. The South-West Lancashire Committee have completed their survey and find that the time has not yet arrived for the provision of additional resources for their region. It has not therefore been necessary to submit proposals to me. I keep in close touch with 1280 the proceedings of all the Regional Committees.
§ Mr. CHORLTONasked the Minister of Health whether the consultative committee proposed to co-ordinate the work of the water advisory committees in Lancashire and Cheshire has yet been set up; and, if not, when will it be?
Sir H. YOUNGIt is not proposed for the present to set up any formal consultative committee. The question will be considered by the regional committees when the need arises.
