HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 cc19-20W
114. Mr. Colegate

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the need of a piped water supply in Ellastone; and when it is proposed to begin the necessary work.

Mr. Macmillan

I understand the Rural District Council are preparing a scheme for this parish.

118. Mr. Speir

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether his attention has been drawn to the absence of a water supply to Bellingham Rural District Council houses at Kirkwhelpington; and when he anticipates it will be possible to connect these houses to a temporary supply and a permanent supply, respectively.

Mr. Macmillan

I am informed that existing Council houses are supplied by stand-pipes. I understand that proposals for improvement of supplies to the village are under consideration but I cannot say when they will be completed.
