HC Deb 26 January 1944 vol 396 c703W
Mr. G. White

asked the Prime Minister if it is his intention to proceed with the Water Undertakings Bill during this Session.

Mr. Attlee

The Water Undertakings Bill of last Session was primarily a Measure of consolidation. Some such Measure would probably be a necessary preliminary to the enactment of legislation to deal with major issues relating to water supply, which are at present under review, but I cannot at the moment say whether it will be possible to proceed with it during the current Session.
