HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 cc217-8W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Health upon what date the Crickhowell R.D.C. submitted to him a sewerage scheme for the Parish of Llangattock; and whether the scheme had previously been considered by the Breconshire County Council.

Mr. Bevan

Proposals for a joint scheme of sewerage and sewage disposal for Crickhowell and Llangattock have been under consideration since 1935. A public inquiry was held in December, 1938, but execution of the scheme was deferred owing to the war. The scheme has been revived and amended and has been provisionally promised grant under Section 3 of the Distribution of Industry Act, 1945. I am at present awaiting revised plans and estimates from the Crickhowell Rural District Council. I have no information that the scheme has been considered by the Breconshire County Council.
