HC Deb 15 June 1959 vol 607 cc13-4W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will require local authorities to give due notice and consult with the farmers affected before they issue approval for a wayleave for water or sewage pipes.

Mr. H. Brooke

The undertakers and authorities responsible for laying water mains and sewers are already required by law to give due notice. I do not think there is a case for amending the law.
