§ 101. Major Markhamasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that farmers and villagers at Shenley and Calverton, near Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, have been without water supplies for 10 days; and whether he will cause immediate steps to be taken to assist them.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanI understand that owing to reduced pressure in the system supplies of water to some properties have failed. Water is being carted where necessary. I will look further into proposals for improving supplies to the area.
