HC Deb 25 May 1939 vol 347 cc2497-8
61. Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Health the cost of the sewage schemes in the Mid-Glamorgan area, progress of construction and approximate date of their completion?

Mr. Elliot

The cost of the trunk scheme of the Penybont Main Sewerage Board is estimated at £211,000. One section has been completed, and it is expected that the remainder will be completed within 18 months. Of the 13 schemes undertaken by the Penybont Rural District Council, work is in progress on one estimated to cost £70,000, and tenders are being in- vited for another, estimated to cost £1,500. The remaining schemes, which it is estimated will cost £105,500, are dependent on the trunk scheme and will be carried out as soon as the trunk scheme is completed.
