HC Deb 12 December 1947 vol 445 c264W
Mr. Byers

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the increasing shortage of water in the village of Sixpenny Handley; and what steps are going to be taken to remedy this situation.

Mr. Bevan

I have just received such a complaint and have asked the Wimborne and Cranborne Rural District Council to investigate the possibilities of emergency measures pending the promotion of a comprehensive scheme which is contemplated from boreholes recently sunk at Gussage All Saints.
