§ Major Spenceasked the Minister of War Transport whether he is satisfied with the supply of water to the coastguard station at Belhelvie, Aberdeenshire, and what is the cost of the present supply annually.
§ Mr. BarnesSince 1937 drinking water has been carted at a cost of £22 a year to Belhelvie Coastguard station and there stored in tanks. For other purposes, rain water is collected in storage tanks at the coastguard station. With a view to improving the supply I am considering the possibility of obtaining water by boring or laying a pipe line from springs in the neighbourhood.
