HC Deb 22 June 1939 vol 348 c2463W
Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Health whether he has taken recent steps to urge the provision of adequate water supplies in the rural areas of Wales; and what financial aid will be made by his Department?

Mr. Elliot:

During my recent tours in the rural areas of Wales I lost no opportunity of impressing upon representatives of local authorities the desirability of securing the provision of adequate water supplies in their areas. I cannot, however, at present hold out any prospect of legislation authorising further special financial aid for these supplies.
