HC Deb 10 November 1947 vol 444 c23W
131. Mr. Joynson-Hicks

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the handicap to agricultural production resulting from the lack of a main water supply in the Plaistow-Shillinglee area of West Sussex; and what action he is taking to remedy this.

Mr. J. Edwards

My right hon. Friend has approved in principle a general scheme for the extension of water supply in the Petworth rural district, including the area in question. The extensions will be carried out in turn as labour and materials can be allocated.
