§ 125. Commander Maitlandasked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that all steps have now been taken to ensure that the water supply in the Horncastle district will be in all respects fit for drinking at the earliest possible date.
§ Mr. KeyNo, Sir. Analyses of the water which is supplied by the Horncastle Water Company, indicate that it is polluted and the medical officer of health for the district has advised that it should be boiled before it is used. My right hon. Friend is not satisfied with the steps taken by the company to improve the supply and he is going further into the question with them.
