HC Deb 16 March 1934 vol 287 cc749-50W
Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Minister of Health if he will report the progress made in the areas in which serious water scarcity prevailed in the way of new undertakings or the setting up of joint boards to cover regional areas?

Sir H. YOUNG

Up to the present, the towns generally have well withstood the undoubted strain of the exceptional drought. As regards rural areas, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Stone (Sir J. Lamb) on 12th March.
