HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 c889W
Mr. Kennedy

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the representations of the Wemyss and District Water Trust regarding the Fife County Council Provisional Order; and whether he adheres to the decision to proceed with the inquiry on the 24th October?

Mr. Colville

After considering representations made by the Promoters of the Fife County Council Provisional Order and also by a number of opponents including the Wemyss and District Water Trustees, I have decided that the Inquiry by Commissioners, which was provisionally arranged to open on 24th October, should be postponed to a date, probably some months hence, which will be announced later.
