18. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Minister of Health if he will now give a decision regarding the third contract in connection with the Hug Bridge Water Supply, Congleton, Cheshire, details of which have already been sent him
§ Mr. BevanThe Congleton Borough Council have been authorised to accept a tender for this contract.
Air-Commodore HarveyCan the Minister say why this matter has been pending for nearly eight months? Had he authorised the pipes last summer he would now have the water.
§ Mr. BevanIt is necessary always to consider starting dates for these schemes; otherwise, they would jostle each other out of existence.
Air-Commodore HarveyIs the Minister aware that other parts of the contract have been completed, except for the pipes. which are eight months late?
§ Mr. BevanThat is the reason. If all these schemes started simultaneously they would impede the progress of each other.
