§ Mr. Cooper-Keyasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that rural water supplies to the parishes of Bright-ling and Dallington are matters of 76W urgency; and whether he can now give a decision to the application made by the Heathfield and District Water Company, in June and July, 1950, for a grant in respect of this scheme.
Mr. T. WilliamsI am aware of the needs of agriculture for improved water supplies in this area. Consideration of grant by my Department and the Ministry of Local Government and Planning is, however, awaiting a settlement of the financial arrangements as between the water company and the two rural district councils concerned.
