§ Mr. CHORLTONasked the Minister of Health if he has been able to make arrangements for the use of the Hawes-water undertaking of the Manchester Corporation to supply water to other parts of the country where a scarcity exists, in order to prevent that scheme becoming redundant with a permanent charge on the city?
Sir H. YOUNGNo, Sir. Present evidence indicates that it would not be prudent to divert this source from the use of Manchester and the many other authorities having a statutory claim on it.
