HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 c130W
56. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the repeated bursts of the new Leeds city water main in the village of Leathley, near Otley, and the damage done to property and the constant danger to life; and if he will order a public inquiry to be held in order that a future disaster can be prevented, and the danger to life and property removed

Mr. Powell

My right hon. Friend is looking into this matter, about which my hon. and gallant Friend has recently sent some correspondence. He will be writing to him as soon as possible.
