§ 2. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the village pump at Charlton-on-Otmoor, Oxfordshire, was condemned eight years ago; that, owing to bad water, churns are sent daily into Oxford 10 miles away to obtain water for the farms; and when a piped supply of water may be expected.
§ Mr. KeyMy right hon. Friend is aware that the present water supply facilities are unsatisfactory. The Parish is included in the scheme for a piped supply of water to the Ploughley Rural District to which he referred in his reply, on 4th July, to the hon. and gallant Member's Question with regard to a supply of water to Weston-on-the-Green.
§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Health when it is anticipated that piped water will be supplied to Pishill-with-Stoner, Oxfordshire.
§ Mr. BevanI have approved in principle proposals submitted by the Henley Rural District Council for a comprehensive scheme of water supply in their district and examination of the technical details is proceeding. I have agreed that the extension to the Pishill-Stoner area shall be carried out in advance of the main scheme but I am unable to forecast when this work will be completed.
