HC Deb 17 December 1935 vol 307 c1583W
Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action, if any, he is taking to have a technical survey of Scotland's water resources and supplies undertaken and an inquiry into the question of water supplies, with the object of securing a more economical and more effective use of these resources, as recommended by the Committee on Scottish Health Services in their interim report of 28th March, 1934?

Sir G. COLLINS

The whole question of water supplies in Scotland is being actively considered by the Department of Health for Scotland with a view to ensuring that adequate provision is made to meet the growing demand for water for domestic purposes. In particular, consideration is being given to the need for increased co-operation between local authorities in the utilisation of the sources of supply to the best advantage.
