§ 43. Mr. Chorltonasked the Minister of Health whether the maps showing the exact position of the aqueducts of each water undertaking and where interconnections could be made have yet been completed for the regional water committees of Lancashire; and whether action will be taken accordingly to mitigate the effects of the drought?
§ Sir K. WoodMaps are available showing these aqueducts. The responsible water undertakers are, I understand, aware of the points where inter-connection can be made, and I have no doubt that, if the need arises, they will take action on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. ChorltonMy question referred to East Lancashire and the right hon. Gentleman has not replied to it.
§ Sir K. WoodPerhaps the hon. Member will put down a further question?
§ Mr. ChorltonThe risk arising from fire owing to air attacks has now become so great that steps should be taken to accelerate this work. Will the right hon. Gentleman look into the matter?
