§ 34. Mr. Nigel Fisherasked the Minister of Health whether he will reconsider his decision to postpone the scheme for sewage disposal submitted to him by the Baldock Urban District Council, which his Department has approved in principle.
§ Mr. BevanI have received further representations about the need for the early carrying out of this scheme, and they are now being considered.
§ Mr. FisherWill the Minister bear in mind that the capital expenditure involved in this case is only approximately £31,000, whereas the health of 26,000 people living in Letchworth and Baldock is threatened by the postponement of a scheme already approved by his Department? Will he at least see a deputation and hear the case?
§ Mr. BevanFurther representations are being considered at the moment, but this has to be considered against the claims of other authorities as well.
