Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will give information as to the joint comprehensive water supply for northern Breconshire and parts of Radnorshire; and which local authorities are now included.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanThe scheme is being promoted by the Llanwrtyd Wells Urban District Council and the Builth and Colwyn Rural District Councils. It will also provide for a bulk supply of water to Builth Urban District Council. The award of a provisional grant of £300,000 under the Rural Water Supplies and Sewerage Acts, 1944 and 1951, to the promoting authorities was notified on 15th June, 1954.
I am at present awaiting from those authorities the draft of an order setting up a joint board to operate the scheme.
