§ 29. Mr. D. Adamsasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the necessary information regarding the water situation in Trinidad has yet been collected; and whether, on the completion of work on the United States bases, the labour and machinery released will be used in an island-wide scheme whereby the recurrent problem of water shortage would be dealt with effectively?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanThe position is being investigated on the spot by a member of the firm of consulting engineers who advise the Government of Trinidad on the question of water supplies, and his report is awaited. I am grateful for the useful suggestion contained in the latter part of the Question, which had not altogether escaped the notice of my Noble Friend's advisers.
