§ 2. Mr. W. Yatesasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister of Welsh Affairs how many council houses have been built, and how many houses approved for private ownership, by the Oakengates Urban District Council between 1955 and 1960; and what additional arrangements he approved to ensure a proper supply of waiter for domestic use in the local authority area.
§ Sir K. JosephFive hundred and six council houses and 224 private enterprise houses were completed. My right hon. Friend has no details of private enterprise houses permitted but not finished in the period. During the same period he approved schemes for deepening an existing borehole, sinking a new one, linking the Oakengates and Shifnal supply systems and laying additional mains to improve pressure.
§ Mr. YatesIs the Parliamentary Secretary aware that constituents of mine are still short of water, and although the water board is trying to put the blame on the Minister, I think, in view of his reply, I should like to raise the matter on the Adjournment?
§ Mr. SpeakerI do not know what that means. I shall assume that it is notice given.
