§ 28. Mr. Erringtonasked the Minister of Health what progress has been made in regard to the Rimrose Brook drainage scheme; whether he can give any reason for the present delay; and whether he can give an approximate date for its completion?
§ Mr. ElliotI approved the first part of the scheme last November and I understand that tenders in respect of this are expected this month. The second part required further consideration, but this was approved and authority given for tenders this week. I regret that the information at my disposal does not enable me to answer the last part of the question.
§ Mr. ErringtonIn view of the danger to health, will the right hon. Gentleman do all he can to accelerate the scheme?
§ Mr. ElliotYes, Sir. I have, in fact, given approval and authority for the tenders has gone in both cases.
