Member for Canterbury in the letter from the Parliamentary Secretary dated 18th September, 1945.
§ Mr. BevanProposals for a main water supply in this area are included in a number of schemes which the rural district council propose to submit for grant under the Rural Water Supplies and Sewerage Act, 1944. The council are still in consultation with the county council on these schemes, as the Act requires, and it is, of course, desirable that extensive schemes should be considered in relation to proposals for other parts of the county.
§ Mr. WhiteCan the Minister give any idea how long it will be before these schemes will be put into operation?
