§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs the reasons for the delay in providing either a temporary or permanent water scheme for the village of Beulah, Breconshire; and whether he will make a statement on the stopping of the regional scheme.
§ Mr. H. BrookeBeulah will be suplied with piped water during the second stage of the comprehensive water supply scheme of the Builth and District Water Board. Acceptance of the tender for this stage of the scheme was authorised by me on 2nd July. It should be completed in two years. I do not understand the hon. Member's reference to the stopping of a regional scheme, for no scheme in this area has been stopped.
