§ 108. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the water coming from the tap, marked "Drinking," in the Palace of Westminster is tepid and insipid; and to what extent the water coming from other taps, which is cold and refreshing, is unfit for drinking purposes.
§ Mr. EcclesWater from taps marked "Drinking" is drawn direct from the main but the other water is drawn from storage tanks. Drinking water may sometimes be tepid when the tap is first turned on, but it will soon become fresh and cold.
