HC Deb 02 April 1909 vol 3 c698W
Captain MORRISON-BELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will amend the Waterworks Clauses Acts so that an urban district council whose water supply is purchased in bulk from another urban district would be able to enforce conditions as to size of flushing cisterns, etc., in existing houses that would prevent waste or misuse, and so protect the ratepayer from unnecessary expense?

Mr. BURNS

I have not at present in contemplation the amendment of the Waterworks Clauses Acts with the object suggested.
