HC Deb 21 July 1913 vol 55 c1717W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the President of the Local. Government Board whether his attention has been called to the shortage in the water supply at Carnetown, Abercynon, in consequence of which the drains remain unflushed and the cottagers are without water in their homes; whether he is aware that the water supply is drawn from a private reservoir which is inadequate and not properly protected from pollution; and whether he will cause an investigation to be made in the interests of the public health?

Mr. BURNS

I am in communication with the local authority on the subject,of the hon. Member's question.
