HC Deb 22 January 1958 vol 580 c178W
86. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what conference he has had with representatives of the Oldham Corporation, the Chadderton Urban District Council and other local authorities with reference to the proposal of the Ashton-under-Lyne Corporation to construct a reservoir in the Chew Valley, a well-known local beauty spot.

Mr. Bevins

The proposals the hon. Member no doubt has in mind are embodied in a Private Bill which was presented in November. The only conference which has taken place was with the Joint Committee promoting the Bill, and this was to discuss procedure.
