Vice-Admiral Taylorasked the Minister of Health whether he has taken, or will take, powers under the Emergency Regulations, to compel water companies to abstain from cutting off their supplies to persons who, for reasons connected with the war, are unable to discharge punctually their accounts for such supplies; and what procedure should be adopted to take advantage of these powers?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI suggest that my hon. and gallant Friend should await consideration of the Amendment on this point which he has put down to the Courts (Emergency Powers) Amendment Bill now before the House.
