§ Mr. LOGANasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the notice issued by the Wallasey water engineer that he had seen no necessity for restricting the use of water for garden hose, etc., as Wallasey could draw upon Liverpool for the water they required; and what action, if any, he proposes to take?

My right hon. Friend is keeping in touch with the position
