HC Deb 08 July 1952 vol 503 c1086
40. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether his decision to cut expenditure on the Daer water project of Lanarkshire will be reconsidered, in view of the probable consequences to housing schemes and industrial development in the area.

Mr. J. Stuart

I am glad to say that I have now been able to agree to a revised programme submitted by the Daer Water Board and no immediate threat to housing or industrial development in the area arises.

Mrs. Mann

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that his reply will give great satisfaction to the people of Lanarkshire?
