HC Deb 23 July 1946 vol 425 cc317-8W
38. Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet agreed to the drainage scheme for Chapelton, Lanarkshire; and when work is likely to commence.

Mr. Buchanan

The scheme has been approved in principle and the Department of Health are in touch with the county council about the details. The scheme is one of many which are before the county council and which are heavily engaging the council's engineering staff, and the date of its commencement will depend largely on the priority which the council give it.
