HC Deb 19 June 1951 vol 489 cc35-6W
78. Mr. Perkins

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning what is the reason for the delay in publishing the order applied for by the West Gloucestershire Water Company to authorise them to construct works and abstract water from the Ozleworth stream at Alderley, in view of the fact that the draft order was submitted to the Minister on 29th August, 1950, the local inquiry was held on 19th December, 1950, and the Minister signified his intention to make the order in a letter to the Company dated 9th February, 1951.

Mr. Dalton:

It was necessary to consult all the interests affected by the Order. I published an amended Order on 13th June, and, if no further objections are made it will come into force on 12th July.
