HC Deb 22 November 1937 vol 329 cc864-5W
Mr. Grenfell

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the condition of the water supply in the rural districts of Marshland and Upwell, in Norfolk, and if his attention has been called to the fact that Upwell people have been reduced to drinking water from the ditches; what steps are being taken to remedy this state of affairs; and, if improvement depends upon the acquisition of land, on what terms such land can be purchased?

Mr. Bernays

The attention of my right hon. Friend had not previously been drawn to this matter, but I am making inquiries and will let the hon. Member know the result.
