WATER SUPPLIES (RURAL AREAS).

HC Deb 18 June 1936 vol 313 cc1163-4

42. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Health whether there is a shortage of water in any of the rural areas; and, if so, what action is being taken to arrange for supplies?

Sir K. WOOD

I have this year received complaints from only one rural area, and for that area a scheme of water supply is under construction.

Mr. SMITH

Is any progress being made in that particular matter?

Sir K. WOOD

I will inquire and let the hon. Gentleman know.
