§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Agriculture on how many occasions in August and September Sherrington Village, and other areas served by the same water system as Sherrington Nurseries, were without water, while the natural water supply to the nurseries provided by the dispossessed owner, Mr. Peach, had been dismantled by his Department; and if he will see that, in future, installations supplied by private enterprise are not destroyed in this manner to the injury of the local community.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI am aware that the mains water supply provided by the Newport Pagnell Rural District Council for this area has been erratic during the past summer. This has been due to a number of difficulties arising from causes beyond 67W the Council's control, but the matter of improving the supply has been taken up by the Minister of Health. As regards the water supply at Sherrington Nurseries, I am satisfied that the former private supply from a well and a pond was quite unsatisfactory and that the new arrangement for supply from the local authority's mains meets the needs of the holding much better.
