HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 c1254
49. Mr. Spearman

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will extend the grant for rural water supplies to horticultural producers.

Mr. T. Williams

No, Sir. Whilst recognising the importance of adequate supplies of water for horticulture, I am satisfied that the provision of Exchequer assistance to their installation is not necessary or justifiable in present circumstances.
