HC Deb 19 February 1953 vol 511 c168W
117. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that in dry seasons many cities have to curtail their domestic water supply because of a shortage; and what steps are being taken to conserve our water supplies for periods of drought.

Mr. H. Macmillan

The problem is one on which steady progress is being made as general economic conditions permit.
