HC Deb 05 June 1951 vol 488 c103W
92. Mr. Digby

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning what is the reason for the delay in reaching a decision with regard to the Bridport Rural District Council's scheme for supplying a piped water supply to the village of Puncknowle, Bridport, Dorsetshire.

Mr. Lindgren

The reason for delay is that the Bridport Rural District Council is still negotiating with farmers whose interests may be affected. My right hon. Friend has told the Council that, as soon as agreement is reached, he will approve the scheme.
