§ 41. Lieut.-Colonel Heneageasked the Minister of Health how many parishes in the rural districts of Grimsby, Louth, and Caister have a water supply; and how many still depend on local wells?
§ Mr. ElliotThe number of parishes in the rural districts of Grimsby, Louth and Caister which have piped water supplies is five, six and 22 respectively; the remaining parishes, numbering 16, 73, and 18 respectively, depend on local wells.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HeneageWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind the fact that this is an area to which it is proposed to evacuate adults and children from other areas in a time of emergency; and will he look into the question from that point of view?
§ Mr. ElliotYes, Sir.
§ Mr. T. SmithCan the right hon. Gentleman say what prospect there is of these rural parishes in general having a proper water supply?
§ Mr. ElliotThat is a rather large question to answer without notice.
