§ Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the large number of parishes in England and Wales without a piped water-supply, and that in the main, they are rural parishes whose rate resources are inadequate to provide such a supply, he will provide financial assistance for this purpose?
§ Mr. BernaysMy right hon. Friend is afraid that he can at present hold out no prospect of legislation authorising further grants for rural water supply.
