HC Deb 25 July 1960 vol 627 cc104-5W
Mr. Collard

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that the Forehoe and Henstead Rural District Council has not yet started the constructional work necessary to provide a piped water supply to the village of Welborne, Norfolk, which he approved on 4th December, 1959; and if he will inquire into the reasons for this delay.

Sir K. Joseph

My right hon. Friend is aware of the delay, which is caused by a slight alteration to the scheme as approved. The alteration involves a main being laid in the rural district of Mitford and Launditch. In accordance with the Public Health Act, 1936, this proposal has been advertised locally. If objections are received from the Mitford and Launditch Rural District Council or from any owner or occupier of land directly affected, a local inquiry will be necessary before the scheme can proceed.

Forward to
