HC Deb 15 November 1949 vol 469 c1831
7. Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the starting dates for rural water schemes in the counties of Aberdeenshire, Angus and Kincardineshire where the schemes have been approved but work has not yet begun.

Mr. Woodburn

In the three counties mentioned, no rural water supply schemes are at present at the stage when starting dates can be fixed, but I foresee no difficulty in arranging early starting dates for the urgent local schemes which are expected to be contracted for in the immediate future.
