Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for War if he will now instruct the Treasury Solicitor to prepare a deed to release from use the length of water main leading to Stratton Factory, Swindon, which runs through the estate belonging to the Building and Public Works Construction Company Limited, and to grant a substituted easement in respect of the new main taken through No. 116, Wheeler Avenue in order that the company may now sign contracts with purchasers of houses on its estate; and why this matter has still not been settled after over eighteen months of negotiation.
§ Mr. HareThe Treasury Solicitor has been so instructed. I am looking into the cause of delay and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
