HC Deb 09 May 1923 vol 163 c2383W
Major KELLEY

asked the Minister of Health whether the water supplies of the Country are now sufficient to meet requirements in the event of another dry summer this year; and whether any national survey of water resources has been completed?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The situation generally is such as to give no ground for anxiety at the present time. A survey of the water resources of the country is now being made and is proceeding as rapidly as is possible having regard to the staff available.
