§ Sir W. Jenkinsasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the geological departments of Cardiff and Swansea universities have carried out a survey of the water supplies of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire; that there are ample supplies of water, but that they are not properly distributed, and that some areas are still in need of an adequate water supply; and whether he will consult these two universities with a view of ascertaining their considered opinions and make the necessary provisions for a post-war scheme to meet the needs of the Principality?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have made inquiries, but my information is that a survey of this kind has not been carried out by the geological departments of the two universities. I am, however, familiar with the account of the water supply in South Wales, contained in the Second Industrial Survey of South Wales, published on behalf of the National Industrial Development Council of Wales and Monmouthshire in 1937. If my hon. Friend has in mind any areas in need of an adequate water supply, I shall be happy to have the matter looked into.
