Water Supplies, Essex (Survey Report)

HC Deb 19 March 1957 vol 567 cc38-9W

71. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when the result of the survey of Essex water supplies will be made known.

Mr. H. Brooke

I regret that it has taken longer than was expected to prepare the summary of the survey report but it should be available by the middle of the year. Meanwhile, officers of my Department are ready to discuss the water supply problems of the county with the authorities concerned.
