HC Deb 07 July 1936 vol 314 c1033
67. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Minister of Health whether statutory powers will be given to regional water committees, and will they later be extended to the joint committees in certain areas and ultimately to a central unifying authority, to co-ordinate plans and policy and prevent overlapping and inefficiency?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The Joint Select Committee on Water Resources and Supplies are at present considering the measures required for the better conservation and organisation of water resources and supplies. The questions raised are matters for consideration when the findings of the joint committee have been issued.
