§ Wing-Commander R. Robinsonasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Fylde Water Board is unable to obtain the services of 12 labourers necessary for the construction of mains in connection with the water supplies for the housing schemes of local authorities in the area; and whether he will take steps to ensure that housing schemes in the Blackpool and Fylde area are not held up on account of this bottleneck.
§ Mr. BevanI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour and National Service to the hon. Member for North Blackpool (Brigadier Low) on IIth December. All possible steps are being taken to ensure that housing schemes shall not be held up.
