HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 c264W
94. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that the Llandegley Voluntary Primary School, Radnorshire, is only supplied with water once every two weeks by the N.F.S. from Llandrindod Wells; whether some better arrangements can be made for the provision of fresh pure water daily; and what are the difficulties in having water laid on to the school.

Mr. Tomlinson

I am aware that a large storage tank at Llandegley School is kept supplied with water from Llandrindod Wells by the Fire Service. I understand that the question of obtaining a supply of water from a spring not far from the school has been considered, but that the water is not regarded as satisfactory in quality. The use of other sources of supply, further from the school, would involve very considerable expenditure, and a satisfactory solution of the problem depends on the adoption of a water supply scheme for the area generally.
