§ Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Health whether he will consider introducing some modification of the peacetime practice of water concerns to cut off water on non-payment of rates, in view of the danger from enemy incendiary bombs?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have no evidence of unreasonable use by water undertakers of their powers in this regard at the present time and I am not satisfied that intervention on my part on the lines suggested is either necessary or desirable.
