HC Deb 07 November 1940 vol 365 c1439
22. Mrs. Tate

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the village of Timsbury in Somerset, with a population of over 1,000, was practically waterless for two months in the summer and suffered a shortage for four months; and whether it is proposed to bring pressure to bear on the Clutton Rural District Council to enlarge the reservoir before next summer?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I am in communication with the rural district council and will write to my hon. Friend when my inquiries are completed.
