HC Deb 25 March 1929 vol 226 c2091W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Health whether any investigation is taking place as to the water supply of the various districts of the country, such as the towns and country areas where complaint has been made in the past as to the shortage of supply?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Investigations are constantly being made in individual cases. Further, I have the assistance of an Advisory Water Committee in dealing with general questions. The best way for a systematic survey of local water resources is through the appointment of Advisory Regional Water Committees, regarding which I recently issued a booklet. I may add that a Report on rural water supplies will shortly be issued.
