79. Captain Vyvyan Adamsasked the Home Secretary what steps are being taken to guard reservoirs throughout the country against destruction or pollution by parachutists or sympathisers with the enemy?
§ 71. Mr. Ralph Ethertonasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the resolutions passed at a meeting at Manchester, on 22nd May, of 20 northern waterworks authorities representing almost every waterworks authority in the North of England; whether he has since then taken any additional steps; and whether military protection is now afforded to waterworks undertakings?
§ Sir J. AndersonIt would not be in the public interest to give details of the protection arrangements for waterworks, but I can assure my hon. Friends that this matter is receiving full consideration. I may add that the undertakings would be well advised to arrange for the enrolment of their own personnel in the Local Defence Volunteers for service at their own works.
