§ 41. Mr. Manningham-Bullerasked the Minister of Health whether he has now received a report from his inspector with 297 regard to the supply of water to Woodford Halse; and what action is being taken.
§ Mr. DaltonI have not yet received this report.
§ Mr. Manningham-BullerIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I asked his predecessor about this matter on 23rd November, and that meantime many families in this village are still suffering severely from a shortage of water owing to the pipes, the responsibility for which rests with the Mid-Northants Board, still being blocked? Will he take action as soon as possible to get these pipes freed?
§ Mr. DaltonI am sure that my predecessor dealt with the matter with due despatch. I am afraid that I do not know the difficulties which have intervened, but one of my inspectors visited Woodford Halse on 19th January and I shall, no doubt, be receiving his report very soon.
