HC Deb 31 July 1958 vol 592 c174W
87. Mr. Dye

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects a piped water supply and electricity will be made available to the forestry workers who live in the cottages at Drymere, Beachamwell.

Mr. Godber

These Forestry Commission cottages, about 20 in number should receive a piped water supply within the next two or three months. The provision of electricity has been under consideration for some considerable time, but the Eastern Electricity Board will probably not be able to proceed for at least another two years. This will be an expensive project entailing laying some two miles of transmission lines with a transformer and associated equipment.
