HC Deb 28 June 1955 vol 543 c13W
67. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what reports he has had of the state of the water supply at Beulah, Breconshire; what is the position of the comprehensive scheme expected to supply this village; and whether he will, in the meantime, consider a temporary scheme to meet the requirements of the villagers for a pure and piped water supply.

Mr. Deedes

My right hon. Friend knows that the quality of the water at Beulah is not satisfactory and that there is no piped supply. The comprehensive scheme will go to public inquiry as soon as the necessary application and relevant information are received from the local authorities concerned. My right hon. Friend will certainly consider any temporary local scheme if he is asked to do so, but that is likely to be an expensive proposition.
