HC Deb 12 December 1960 vol 632 cc16-7W
Mr. Mapp

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs, in view of the existence of common water pipes and the urgent necessity for the provision of separate service pipes to each householder, if he will introduce legislation giving him powers to authorise grants, on a similar basis to improvement grants, towards an owner's expense in laying a separate service pipe.

Mr. Brooke

I am not aware of this as a general problem, but I am ready to consider any representations that may be made to me by the associations of local authorities.
